There was a thread titled "Electric Uke Advise Please" by "plucky". He had asked about electric ukes and or having a pick up installed in an acoustic uke so he could change the tone. He mentioned he wanted to make it more mellow. There was some great answers and a lot of very useful information.
It got me thinking that a number of members might not have been exposed to an acoustic uke plugged into an amp and how you can change or colour the sound.
Here is a very simple example of that. The uke is a LfdM low G tenor, pick up is a LR Baggs 5.0 the amp is a Fishman loudbox mini. I recorded this straight into my phone with a Zoom Hn2 recorder plugged in as an external mic, it's raw and unedited.
As a side note this combo amped reproduces the natural acoustic sound very accurately. The Fishman amp has a really clean true sound and the LR Baggs pick up is as good as an undersaddle pickup gets.
