I scored on a used Kala UBass for $150 from Craigslist. What a wonderful little beast it is! Do I play bass? NO! But it's stupidly easy to make great sounds and play notes on. I plugged it into an analog delay pedal and made freaky noises all night. I love that little beauty, and I highly...

I find the clothes I'm wearing strongly affect the tone and sustain of a uke. When I play without a shirt, ukes sound dead and somewhat muted. Presumably, the wood laying across the fat, flab of my belly resonates less, killing any sustain and chime the strings might produce, since they are...

Has anyone had this problem? Can it just be glued back in place? It slipped out under the strings near the soundhole, still connected at the nut. I was able to reposition it, but it keeps slipping around.

Man, it was beautiful, beautiful looking, beautiful sounding, the tone so sweet it almost played itself. Now I want one so badly.

Am I the only one who checks the Marketplace first when I come to this forum? What is wrong with me?

I bought a Kala soprano uke a few years ago, and just got into seriously playing it recently. I've upgraded to Aquila strings and it makes a huge difference in tone. I also have a Lanikai Baritone uke that I'm going to re-string and tune to standard uke tuning. I came here from one of my many...
