Hello Everyone -
I have a few quick questions about electric ukuleles that weren't well answered after a few tries with the search feature. The biggest among them is this:
"Which, if any, of the electric (i.e. solid-body) ukuleles (preferably concert or tenor, but any size will do) sounds like a "traditional" ukulele (and not a capo'd guitar)?"
I'm very curious, because the majority of the jamming I do is with electric guitarists. I love my fluke, but it really just can't keep up as is. I've considered adding an acoustic pick-up to my uke, or even just buying an acoustic-electric ukulele (I'll probably do that anyway, damn UAS ), but I figure if I can get the sound of a uke, and the crazy effects of a guitar, I'd be in a very happy place.
Thoughts?
PS - Feel free to post links to ANY uke. I'm not worried about price, though if it's an uber-expensive custom, I'll probably just have to be content with drooling from a distance.
