Have you seen "Mighty Uke" yet? I barely have UAS at all compared to one guy in that movie!

My wife was out with friends tonight, so I dragged some of my friends out. These are almost all of them. There's a cheap baritone that I lent to a friend, an unplayable cheap-o soprano that I thought was cool-looking enough to spend $4 on from eBay, and my Oscar Schmidt concert with pickup that were left out of the photo.

Back row left to right: Maccaferri Islander soprano and baritone; 1950s Martin Style 1; Martin S-O; Faux "Martin 5K" copy; 1920's "Moana Loa" koa soprano; 1920s Criterion soprano; Kala laminated mahogany concert; Kala Acacia tenor.
Front row left to right: Flea soprano; Mainland Red Cedar Pineapple soprano; 1930-ish Martin Style 2; Mainland Gloss Mahogany soprano (with Mi-Si pick-up); Kala Flamed Koa soprano.

Aloha Chris,
Your ukulele family has definetly grown, that's an awesome and impressive collection....You may certainly be certifiable as Uke Crazy...lol..and you know whats even worse, it's me....
I probally have a little more ukes than you, and I have never seen or thought of myself as that.. You certainly have brought me into realization and perspective...
Maybe all this time I too am in denial, now I am in shock and awe....and I still don't know if this will curb my buying more...Maybe I still don't wanna know!!!!
I have my ukes all over the house, and never put them together as a bunch yet...if i did just as you, I wonder if it would curb my buying or not....Serious UAS'er....MM Stan..

I don't have a U-Bass yet. I have played a couple of them in shops. They're pretty cool. I might have to get one someday, but I want to see how they do with a LOUD rig first. The stores where I played them were acoustic instrument shops, and only had little dinky amps. I'm wondering how they'd do at higher volumes. I'm a little worried about feedback issues.

Well, Chris, if you read that talkbass forum, you should have no qualms about the Kala U-Bass. The U-Bass player in our uke group, loves his, so much so I couldn't convince he to let me babysit it while he is in Germany for the week. Would get one myself but I have never played bass and would like to know I can before getting one.
