Hi Everyone
With all the new Ukulele purchases going on, I've got my eye set on number 5! It's a Tanglewood TU 1 CE Soprano Cutaway Electro-Acoustic Ukulele (Link here) I originally wanted an Eleuke, but spoke to the Southern Ukulele Store, where I brought Lilo and was told they don't sell them in the UK anymore, I could look on eBay and get one from the US, but 1) They're above £200 and 2) I'd have to pay 20% VAT on that once it went through customs. The store sells the Uke for £99 with a hard case and having dealt with them before, I know they give good quality goods and equipment. I wanted the Eleuke for the headphones feature (and the MP3 feature, but I can live without that) and he said that this Uke (although not solid) with this amp - A Danelectro Honeytone, I could use the headphone feature on the amp and it's also a good quality amp. I trust their judgement and he said he's used both to play on stage, so that makes me feel more at ease.
My goal is to have this within the next six months, gonna put my books up on smashwords and both Amazon.com and .co.uk and try to raise some money that way and I've got B saving the bills money she would give me in a jar where I can't spend it so should have it within four months! If I can add an extra £30 a month to that, it'll be two!!!
I know it seems like I'm hyper, but I've been struggling with depression quite badly since my 29th birthday and I finally feel like I'm doing something with my life, finally seeing that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel, just have to keep pushing on and I'll get there!
So progress so far: £0/£136 - watch this space!
Hope everyone is having a fantastic Saturday!
Joey
