Thanks, I especially like "For What It's Worth". So, B'uke it is.
My sonic preference for bass is round wound strings. So, I have to build my own creations from past parts. Hence, my moniker from our brother plucker librarian in the Florida Keys.
With the onset of winter and the arrival of the Northern uker migration, one of the snowbirds insisted that I turn my amp off. Yes, there is an acoustic requirement where we practice. The local inhabitants have a little looser enforcement consciousness.
So, my challenge was to create a bass uke that can be heard without electric amplification. And, have a set of round wound strings to give it that special sustain, ring, and punch that flat wounds or nylon do not deliver. Thus, the mega-B'uke came to life.
The ladies who want to hear the bottom line surround me closely which is fine with me. Really fine. For what it's worth.
What's that sound? It's the sweet ring of round wound strings.
P.S. - I am adding that Buffalo Springfield song to my uke repertoire. Thanks, again. So much!
