    BFU Bass Banjolele

    I don't know how to make a good review :/ but this is for a Buzzards Field Ukeleles Bass Banjolele (or Bassjolele if you will) Honestly, it's better than I expected it to be. Generally, its pretty comfortable to play. There is a little bit of fret sprout on it but not to a horrible degree. I...

    Metal U-Bass Strings On An Ashbory Bass

    Hello! I know that string tech has gotten much, much better since Ashbory basses were introduced. It's nice not to have to put baby powder on my fingers to move around. I'm curious - has anyone tried the low tension metal U-Bass strings on an Ashbory bass; and if so, how did it go? Here is an...

    NBD: Kala Journeyman U-Bass

    Terrible picture, but evidence that I'm not just pretending to have one for some odd reason: Very happy with it so far. It's fun to have one to twiddle on without an amp while wandering around and it's just so much more convenient. Sounds great amplified too, to my untrained ear. This...

    Average price relative good U-bass ?

    Hello mates !! I am in Hawaii and I wanna get a U-bass but I know that being where ukulele was born , prices must be high, also for tourism . So my question is , if I wanna get a relative good bass ( let’s say the quality of a 600 dollars squier ) , what can I expect to pay ? Thanks!!!

    NBD: Kala U-Bass Striped Ebony (roundwounds)

    I am stoked with my new u-bass (but who isn't happy on NBD?)! Opinions on u-basses and u-bass strings vary widely. I think that has to do with expectations. If you're expecting a u-bass to be just like your bass but smaller, you'll probably be disappointed. The physics of creating low notes on...

    Any suggestions for an 80mm feedback eliminator?

    As the subject: I'm looking for a feedback eliminator (similar to the Ortega Feedback Eliminator 86) but for a U-bass with an 80mm diameter sound hole. I'd be grateful for any help as I've spent over an hour searching the 'net to no avail with the closest being the Ortega item above and a 76mm...

    Uke bass strings suck

    My solid body Rondo special came with Aquila Thunderblacks. The E and A strings are a little sticky feeling and there is a scratchy attack on every string that kind of drives me nuts. I can minimize it if I dial out the highs and hit the string just right, but then it kind of looses some of the...

    Metal String, Solid Body Electric U-Bass for a Reasonable Price?

    I'm looking for a solid body U-Bass that uses metal strings and standard pickups and i'm hoping someone here can help. Most of what I find are solid bodies with rubber strings which i don't quite understand unless they use piezo pickups? Either way, I'd rather have metal strings. There are a...

    U-bass from baritone uke?

    I have a redundant baritone uke (19" scale length) and wonder whether it can be converted to a U-bass. I suspect I'll need to ream out the string anchor holes in the bridge. But I don't know whether there's anything else different between the construction of a typical baritone uke and a U-bass...

    Strings for FRETLESS U-BASS
