Anyone have any info/knowledge of how well-made these are and/or how they sound?
Two weeks ago I purchased a Blue Star Konablaster baritone ukulele and I find myself asking me how I got along without one! The neck is as good as any guitar I've owned or own and the sound, played through a Fender Blues Jr amp, is, well, kick a$$.
Why the carpet wrapping is beyond me. I hope whoever makes the Konablaster is planning on producing one with finished wood, maybe even exotic. One problem with the carpet is that where your wrist rubs the uke's body receives some serious carpet burn. I solved the problem with a thin foam koozie, like you'd wrap a beer in to keep it cool. Simply cut the little butterfly bottom off and cram yer hand through it and it covers yer wrist just fine and depending on the koozie looks great.
Question, does anyone know who, what company, produces the Konablaster?

If I can revive a really old thread here...
I've been looking to get an electric ukulele. Since I'm fairly new to the uke, I would probably go with soprano instead of baritone (fingering for chords is different on baritones, right?). Can the Konablaster soprano get that nice rock sound? Also, do I need a special amp, or could I use an old guitar amp?
