Was fooling around in my office this afternoon, playing some soft stuff with a lot of Maj7 chords through my tube amp (I installed the pickups primarily for recording but wanted to see how it did live). Anyway, I was kind of blown away by how good it was sounding through that tube amp.
(My other ukes don't sound as good through it - it's got way too much bass response for the higher-tuned instruments and gets a lot of "thud" that is difficult to EQ out.)
My wife stuck her head in and said "that sounds really nice!" Now, coming from my wife, anything I do that involves an amplifier is very, very unlikely to be described by her as "nice" - now all I have to do is decide if she actually recognized good tone when she heard it or if she just likes Maj7 chords...
