Reading the current Kamoa bass uke thread has me thinking about picking up an inexpensive baritone and restringing it as a piccolo bass (EADG an octave up from "normal" bass.)
There have been a few threads that have touched on this tuning (I know DaleR has tried it), but I'd like to see what experience other people have had specifically retuning a baritone - buying a Kamoa is out of budget for trying this out. I've messed around a little accompanying uke videos and found that playing up an octave was a pleasant tonal complement.
My main concern is that it be loud enough to play along acoustically with ukes. If I have to plug in, I'm bringing my U-Bass... or my P5.
I'm just a bass player that's looking to branch out a little.
Thanks!
