I recently purchased a new uke. It's a rather gorgeous anuenue's ASOS Africa II. I had a pickup fitted the action is set at 2.5 no issue with buzzes or anything plays really well 99% of the time intonation is pretty much spot on. Great tone.
But I am finding when fretting lower down the neck (10th onwards) it's hard to fingerpick. The action is low enough I am mostly hitting the fret board when I pick. I try to aim for where the neck and body meet when I'm playing most of the time. Is this poor technique on my part/ because of the low action or because I'm not used to the instrument yet.
I could just try to pick lower down where I'm not having problems. The E string is also a touch quiet is this as a result of the setup as well.
If I wanted to raise the action again would I have to replace the compensated buffalo bone saddle to ensure it had good contact with the pick up. Not much of a single question just wanted to get people's thoughts! Try to sus things out! Thanks.
