    U-bass amp?

    I've always wanted rumble away on the bass and a U-bass just looks too tempting! I have one or two questions though and I'd like to hear your opinions. Do you need a bass amp to play a U-bass into? And how about speaker size? I understand 15" is a standard bass speaker. I play electric guitar...

    loudest uke?

    I got a uke last Christmas and I'm loving it. I'm learning jigs and reels and bluegrass tunes that go down really well at pub sessions.

    What ho!

    Hello! I got a uke for Christmas, a Gretsch long scale tenor electro acoustic. I'm interested in fingerstyle European folk and early music and the sound of the uke suits those styles superbly. I can play from tab and I'm working on Rob MacKillop's books, 20 Celtic Uke Tunes and 20 Old Time...
