Hey guys;
So I've had my eyes set on one of the Rally Banjo Ukes that have been going on ebay. A good deal of that decision was dude to this review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9d1hLkj6wI -- because I like the sound a lot (actually seems to sound more like a banjo than a lot of more inexpensive ones I've checked out that just sound like tinny ukes).
People seem to say nice things about the guy that sells em, taisamlu. My problem is I've had my heart set on a DUB-2F, like the video, but now that I finally have money they seem to only have the DUB-1F. I prefer the "2" models darker wood and chrome fittings, but if they sound the same (which it seems to claim, linking the "1" model to a soundbite for the "2"), then I might be able to learn to love the more aged, kinda hokier look.
My questionsare: 1) does anyone know if the two models sound essentially the same and 2) does anyone have an email for taisamlu? I tried to contact him through ebay but no dice, only automated form FAQ available.
Or, I guess another would be does anyone know of another seller, or a similarly-priced, ready-to-buy banjo uke of equal or better quality?
I'd wait and see if another comes up but have been waiting forever. Plus, my band is in the middle of writing and recording a new album and I really want the different tambre of a banjo uke on some songs.
