[~dave~~wave~]

Wow, I'm floored, thanks so much.
A banjo uke is one of the few axes not it my arsenal, look forward to trying to do it some justice.
I'm semi-competent with minor adjustments and repairs, playable is wonderful, I enjoy a project.

Christian, I hope you'll do me the honor of taking a sharpie and inscribing your creation for me.

Give thanks for random prize awards, in the face all the talented players and singers who post here.
There may be some minor karma involved, since I just paid for a VIP membership (about time).
We're all winners on the Seasons! (but you can't win if you don't play, and think about supporting UU with a donation)

 

[TCK]

Congrats to the winners and thanks for a fun season chrimess!

 

[TheOnlyUkeThatMatters]

Congratulations, ~~~dave~wave~~~, MikeF, and peewee! Christian's randomizer has great taste in ukulele punk, ukulele reggae, and ukulele heavy metal. Woohoo!

Thanks, Christian, for challenging my fingers more than any other challenge. Fun.

And great work, everyone, adapting the heaviness of Metallica to the mellowness of your ukulele. Great stuff! Woohoo!

 

[peewee]

No Way, Thanks Christian! Thanks Randomizer!
That was a tough week. Congrats to all who uked up a Metallica song, most with way more aplomb than I, and congrats to Dave Wave and MikeF too.

 

[mattydee]

Rock on, rockers!

 

[mikef]

Gosh, thank you! My teenage self would be so proud I've won a prize in Metallica week!!! :rock:
A mighty well done Dave Wave & PeeWee too, and indeed everyone who entered... this was a tough but highly enjoyable week!

Angry Banjo Uke!

Here it is in all it's glory.
We know Christian as a man of many talents, but who knew he's a bit of a mad scientist?

The back is heavy dense wood, the top buzzes like Keith Richard's 1965 fuzz tone pedal, and not only is it loud, it has a pickup!

Thanks again to Christian, and to random prize awards that benefit the mediocre masses along side the talented few.







Hey Seasonistas, Week 52 was Metallica Week!
So Christian built a banjo uke with a sound that's loud and ANGRY!
A random number generator popped up my name, so he sent it to ME!
And now that it's here, all I can play is LOUIE LOUIE!

 

[chrimess]

Awesome, awesome, Dave- again, this made my day, glad you like it- the wood is a teak salad bowl, by the way.
