Well it's time to pick up a new Ukulele and Scotty's music in Kalaheo has a Kamaka tenor available. However, it already has a passive pickup installed. I have never used a pickup before and wondering what the benefits and/or disadvantages of buying an ukulele with a pickup?
I do not have any immediate plans to play in front of larger groups where an amp would be needed. Would it still be a good idea to go ahead and get it for the future?
Is there any difference in sound with a pickup installed and not plugged in vs. the same ukulele with no pickup installed?
I understand there are a variety of different pickups available. Should I find out what kind is already installed? Are there any recommendations on one's to get and one's to stay away from?
Thanks for looking and your help,
