    Pet Peeve #47 - Do not use a garbage amp to demo an electric ukulele

    Arrgh! If you are going to demo an electric ukulele (one of the new solid bodies for example) on YouTube do not plug it into a crappy amp like those little HoneyTones. This will pretty much render the demo worthless to 95% of the people interested in and electric uke.

    Least Obtrusive Low G Strings for Solid Soprano

    I have a couple of solid body sopranos both currently strung high g. Years ago I had a nice little Ohana 35G (sold yeas ago) that I enjoyed stringing with a low G. I would like to again string one of my sopranos with a low G, but past experience has taught me that a low G on a soprano is often...

    Has Anyone Bought One of Those LotKey Solid Body Electric Ukes on Amazon?

    They look good in the pictures, but the price seems very low compared to the Kala or other sold body Ukes. (Too good to be true?) Years ago I had a Eleuke Uke (the Jazz model) that was very nice. I tempted to buy one of the LotKey's and test it out. I've watched the two YT videos of the LotKey...

    Are Gel Fingernails strong enough for vigorous strumming?

    I have decided to take the plunge and try out fake nails to replace my brittle index finger on my strumming hand. I think I have read most (if not all) of the threads on this, but still have a question. From what I have read here and on classical guitar forums, I am pretty sure gel (as opposed...

    Can I Use Medium Tension Pahoehoe Strings in an Ashbory?

    I know all the stores seem to spec low tension (18"-21") Pahoehoe strings for the Ashbory, but I wonder if I can also use the Medium tension 20"-24" hohos on and Ashbory?

    Eleuke Jazz Tenor Anticipation

    I just got notification from the USPS that a new (used but new to me) Eleuke Jazz Tenor Sunburst arrived for me at the Smyrna, GA post office at 5:51 AM this morning. I sure hope they throw it on the delivery truck today. I think I will do a review once I get a little familiar with it. I am...

    Reference to Lacy Act in a Video on Why You Should Never Talk to Police if Arrested

    The recent thread on clones of the Flea reminded me of this video about not talking to the police if you get arrested. It was way off topic there, but if you are interested here is the link. Its very long but interestingly mentions the Lacy Act (about importing foreign wood etc) starting at...

    Pignose Hog30 Questions

    I picked up a little Pignose Hog 30 at a moving sale, but didn't get a manual. Everything works fine, but I have a couple of questions for any of you that know this units, or have a manual. 1. How do I know when the batteries are fully charged? Is it OK to just leave it plugged in when not...

    How Important is Reverb When Performing Live?

    I've only performed at a couple of open mics, and would like to get better at it by practicing at home. It seems a lot different performing with a mic stuck in front of you and/or your uke plugged in that just doing it without electronics. When I first started recording myself at home, I was...

    Has eBay Outlived its Usefullness for Sellers?

    Several recent events (including Tudorp's failure to sell one of his ukes, and their treatment of MGM) have started me wondering whether eBay has outlived its usefulness as a seller's tool. I would be interested in others' thoughts. 1. The fees are now quite high, making it more difficult to...
