Show Your Crappy Ukes!

rook · Oct 23, 2011

There's a lot of dick measuring contests that I see going on in this forum...why not show off your best El Cheapo Ukes?

I just today ordered a Lanakai Tenor A/E Black from Butler on Ebay.
Can't wait to get it!

This Uke at $200 + shipping is by far the most quality Uke I have ever owned to this point.

I'm sure that there are a lot of ukes at this price point that have impressed you as members of this forum/community.

What are they? How come?

Errrr, so $200 is a crappy uke??

Apparently it is when you're drunk on a saturday night.

Seems to me that someone calling their $200 uke an "El Cheapo" is guilty of exactly the same dick measuring contest he means to satirize.

Oh, the irony!

Exactly what I thought too. My best uke isn't close to $200.00

My wife laughed when I told her that I was signing up up for that contest, so I have no idea what that prize was. Probably a baritone neck.

I don't own any crappy ukes, they are all played and loved.

As for dick measuring contests, I never enter any contest I know I can't win.

Haha! Funny cos it's true :agree:

spookefoote · Oct 23, 2011

Gosh, I wish I had two hundred of your dollars to spend on a crappy uke.

wolfybau · Oct 23, 2011

well this is the uke I've been learning on for over a year and made most of my videos with, its a cheap little childs guitar found in a dumpster missing 2 tuners and the bridge, I made a new one out of wood and recut the nut for 4 strings. total cost $0

I have to say i did recently upgrade the flimsy white existing tuners with slightly less flimsy elcheepo black ones off of ebay and a set of black 'alice' Strings, which I boought cause Alice is my name haha

http://www.musiclo.com/Ukulele-strings-Alice-AU04--ukelele-nylon-set_p_32.html

total cost about $10

do i win??

here is a video with a long talk story at the beginning about the discovery of my trashy uke , and demonstration playing it starts around 5:00

something are priceless no matter what the perceived material value
its not the bling bling or the caching caching
