So, having some time on my hands has got me thinking about building a kit. I've done some searching and there's not much new content on the topic, so hence the new post. I fancy adding a baritone (tuned GCEA) to my collection, but the choices are limited, especially as I fancy a spruce top...

...... is what I'm going to do! It was a choice between my roundback Tenor and my Aria Concert, so I've decided to go the less conventional route and do a 5 string Concert. I'll detail my work / findings here, but first a couple of questions before I start : 1. I'm assuming the double G...

I'm in the process of designing a new half sleeve and I need some guidance on traditional designs, in terms of what I can and can't use in order not to cause offence. It won't be a complete traditional piece, but will have some elements in it, but I don't want to have something done that isn't...

How about this roller bridge? Surely there's someone out there with the ability to machine a new block that would then bolt straight onto the existing saddle? I'd pay for something like that, for sure!

As the title says really. Open to pretty much anything. What have you got? :D

No stalls at all Baz? If I'm home in time, I'll be popping along with my brother in law. Its also my patch for work ...... Would have been nice to pick up something uke related though, as an end of tour pressie to myself .... I'm hankering for a 5 string to add to the collection ........ :-)

It took some doing, but I managed to fit it in my case! ;-)

What do you mean, 'no'? LOL Just checking in from (sometimes sunny) Camp Bastion. Been here just over a week now, so I'm just settling in. Thankfully, it's been pretty sedate around here so far ...... I'm working with a bunch of GIs, mostly from the Southern States, and I have to say, they're...

Although I've not had too much free time to play, I've had a quick go through my Vox Mini3 and the sound is great, with little / zero feedback, which I guess reflects well on the Fishman electrics. Not struck on the Aquilas, but they will have to wait till Summer to get changed out, as I leave...

Thought I'd get this in early - but seems plenty of others have already said it! Anyway - Happy Christmas to each and every one of you - hope Santa brings everything you've asked him for and you all have a great holiday! :D

I leave for Bastion/Leatherneck in January - if anyone will be around those parts for the first half of next year, then please drop me a PM, as it would be nice to see if we can meet up..... I've already got a couple of guys from the unit I'm going over with who either already have ukes, or...

My Fender 52 Tele arrived today! It's been on back order since early November - and as it's a Christmas pressie, I only took it out of the box long enough to check it wasn't damaged and have a quick play - but first impressions are good! (Sorry - no pics till Santa gives it to me!) Finish is...

Just thinking out loud here, but can any of the retailers / traders on here give me any details about their experiences of shipping from the US to either BFPO or APO addresses? I already know that goods shipped to BFPO don't incur VAT, so I'm assuming goods shipped to APO don't incur whatever...

Been trying to source one of these - but obviously they're discontinued! Anyone happen to have one they no longer want? Prefer UK based seller, but will happily pay for the extra shipping if no such beast exists over here .... :D

Laney Linebacker LR5 Behringer GM108 V-Tone Vox Mini 3 Roland Microcube To be honest, they all seem much of a muchness to me, and all come from good makers, with similar modelling specs and price range, so is one a 'stand out'? Cheers in advance. :D

Just came across this vid whilst day dreaming about a new uke : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL5m1_BdIvs For what it's worth, I preferred #2 and #5 - would I be right in saying that they are (respectively) Ko'alou and Koaloha?

Some of you may know that I bought my Aria uke from these people (Clem and Sally) and the efforts they went to when I bought the uke from them. (It had a slight buzz - they arranged for it to be collected, checked, re setup and couriered back - all FOC) Well, having recently ordered a bone nut...

Bit 'out of left field' - but anyone here had / have any dealings with them? I fancy one of the 'Chronic' custom boards, as they seem super inexpensive for what you get. The aim is to collect it whilst we're over there and ship it home on the plane (I know - it's a long way off yet!). Failing...

Notwithstanding the fact that I am still very much a newbie, and, quite frankly, still rubbish, I am planning WAY ahead for my (what I hope to be) dream uke - you know, the one that will put an end to UAS (yeah - right!). I am lucky enough to own several perfectly playable (and well loved)...

Here's me on mine ..... :D
