I'm new to the ukelele world, having owned one and practiced for only 2 weeks now, but I've been a professional in the music world (band instrument repair, private lessons, performing on brass/woodwinds) for over 40 years.
I'm intrigued by these basses and am seriously considering buying one. I notice that most of the threads in this bass forum are fairly old so I thought I would start a new thread. I have read through many of the old threads.
Whenever I search on youtube all the demos have these instruments plugged in. I want to know how they sound acoustically. None of the music stores near me sell any so I can't get my hands on one to try.
My wife is a violinist/fiddler so it would be fun to jam with her around the house.
Also we both teach at a violin-oriented music camp for a week each year (I conduct the student orchestra) and I'm wondering how these would work acoustically for small fiddling classes of between 5 and 10 people.
Any insights into how these sound acoustically will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
