I recently bought a Kala KA-TE from MGM. The striped mahogany looks pretty sweet and sounds awesome in my noob opinion. I haven't bought an amp yet (pignose hog 20), but I wanted to test the electronics so I plugged into some computer speakers and I noticed there was an annoying hum. Sometimes it happens depending on where my hand is touching the ukulele. It has a metal wound low G string and the rest aquila. I was wondering if any sound people out there know if I would need a DI box or what or if that noise is even normal. I'm under the impression that since it has an active pickup (which would be a preamp, right?) I could just plug it into a speaker with a line in spot.
Also, does anyone have a problem with the wires inside the ukulele touching the walls to cause a buzzing noise? I had to lightly tape the wires down.
I only know a bit about sound electronics, so anything helps!
