  1. Hi, not sure if this is the right forum so apologies if not. Just found out that a Baritone Ukulele is the same size as a Kala U-bass and am wondering whether it would be possible to convert one to the other?

    Presumably could change the nut & bridge somehow so the strings would fit, but I'm not sure whether the neck would stand it, thought maybe it could be reinforced in some way? Or is the U Bass the same size, but a completely different beast and I'm just clutching at straws as I'm too tight to buy a proper one?

    Might have a go anyway but before I spend any cash wondered if anyone had played both and had any thoughts?

    Thanks

  2. Hi all,

    Been playing (in a manner of speaking) bass on & off for years & years, (more off than on) but took it up again a couple of years ago and for some reason, this time it seems to have stuck with me. Been in a couple of bands and managed to get away with it, and am now trying to get a bit better.

    I'm listening to a lot of old soul & funky 70's disco at the moment, as well as people like Sharon Jones and the Menehan Street Band. Newest thing I've heard lately is the Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds album. I think they're great.

    Still got the same Encore Precision copy I've had for 25 years. Keep meaning to upgrade but it'll do until I'm in a serious band or have some spare cash (ha!). Also in the market for a (cheap) Hofner Shorty (or similar) as I travel a fair bit with work, so the gear wanted section is my next stop.

    Not sure I can contribute much as I don't know nothin' but I'll have a go.

    All the best
