I want to buy an electric Uke without mortgaging my house. I'm an accomplished harmonica player in the genres of blues, rock, country, rockabilly and jazz and I intend to play same with my ukes. I've been re learning uke for a few months on a low G tenor strung baritone size uke that I've restored and a crappy cheap soprano that my parents picked up in a tourist joint in Hawaii years ago. I've seen positive reviews on both the Fender and the Applause, usually on one of the online stores. I played an Applause yesterday and it was quite fun. I did not play the Fender and I regret that. I am a bit infatuated with the Applause, in part because I lusted after Ovation guitars when I was playing six strings many years ago. I like the look of the Applause and the fact that it has volume and tone controls. I did not try the Fender because I saw that it only has a plug in and no controls. I realize that is not an indication that it is inferior.
Based on what I've written thus far, is there a consensus on this forum about which of these two axes is preferred?
I will go a step further and welcome suggestions of other acoustic electric ukes that list for less than $200.
Mahalo !
