Hello all.
I'd like to try picking up the Ukulele. I have listened to a few you tube videos and like the sound of the tenor. I do have a 1980's Quest by Vantage piccolo bass, it is a 25" scale bass. My understanding is that a tenor ukulele is a 26" scale instrument. I am wondering what string I could use to tune by bass as a ukulele (standard tuning). I know Tenor strings should work but are there specific ones I should look for when dealing with an electric instrument.
My plan would be to use by bass to see how much I like the ukulele and judge my learning curve. Then later get a better good/decent ukulele if I find my self liking it. I have used the bass in question as a tenor bass and playing cords. I have lent this bass to a friend who used it for a while tuned and played as a banjo. I will link a a few pictures of the bass I found on-line and a you tube video that I found of some body play the bass tuned as a standard bass.
