Hey guys/gals on the UU forum, I havent posted much of anything, but I thought I'd let you guys know: recently I bought a Fishman AG pickup for 80 bucks off of Blue Star Music (online). I had it installed in my uke (pono pkt-2) and it sounds GREAT. I don't have any fancy equipment or anything, just a simple amp and an old BOSS recording thingy with some digital effects in it. All the strings are evenly balanced and the pickup picked up all the sounds I was looking for except for body percussion. The pickup senses string vibrations and I guess when you hit the body it doesn't really transfer over to the pickup unless you hit the bridge. For the money I guess I'm reasonably satisfied...the installation cost me the same as the price of the pickup itself, but the guy did a good job so no complaints there.
Before I bought the pickup I was hoping somebody on the forum already had it hoping maybe they wrote a review for it, but I guess nobody else has it or bothered to write much about it. Hope this tiny bit of info helps whoever is looking to install a pickup rather than buying a new uke with one already built in.
