  1. I just ukulelewales, they have a great video on attempting this, it didn't go well, I don't think I've the disposable income to be binning flatwounds
  2. Contacted them today, seeing if they would do a set of flats, no joy. Even worse the Shopify shop blackstar has, doesn't ship to Ireland, so that's that plan nixed
  3. Hey all Anyone out there playing the steel string version of the Kala solid body or black star carry on bass? If so what strings are you using? Can you cut strings down? (Without too much hassle)
  4. Can't abide the lack of a tone knob
  5. Any opinions on the pb50? Never played a single coil p bass
  6. I'd love to buy second hand from a member of the parish, but shipping and customs to Dublin adds to the fun
  7. I'll keep an eye out for a squier or a sx so. I realise half the time we play with our eyes anyway
  8. @PaulThePlug dare I ask how much was the total spend?
  9. 100% agree on the colour scheme.
  10. Ok on a dog walk and listening to the stranglers. Any recommendations on a cheapy p bass?
  11. I hope it settles down for you. I had a chance to play a fretted acoustic style ubass, softer playing seemed to help, but any misstep in fretting was causing buzz for me
  12. The Dublin uke collective had a p bass in the mix, which was great but the hofner was so much more bassy with a capital B.
  13. Great day, great crowd too Missed a few early in the day but bad mouse orchestra stood out, As did ukulele Tuesday, if anyone can I'd the bass in the video, I'd love to know!
  14. Thats really good to know cause I'm nearly driving to Limerick from Dublin to collect one sight unseen @SamIAm I went to the ukulele hooley, not a u bass in sight. Best bass tone of the day was some sort of violin / hofner bass
  15. oooh thank you..... so harley benton vs batking, 6 euro in the difference at 170 or 176 (batking is more expensive, or take the drive to pick up the older sb piezo kala for 190?
  16. I had tried to order the batking but it doesnt seem to want to deliver to Ireland, I will have to stick to thomann or local second hand ads
  17. I prefer the look of the piezo solid body's. I know I should be going after sound and feel over looks but I feel if I'm springing for a ubass with a split coil Im nearly at just get a short scale territory. @SamIAm are they fretted or fretless?
  18. Oh no I might have to see if I can pick one up, I take it's a piezo pickup too?
  19. I have to compliment your photos, lovely shots!. That five string looks like it could be great fun!
  20. Do u prefer the solid size as it's bigger or smaller?
  21. I've been working my way through her channel, she's a mine of info
  22. Evening all Debating pulling the trigger on a Harley Benton clu bass uke but I've seen a U-BASS-SUB4FS that's second hand and a two hour drive away Any experience pros and cons between the two?
  23. Which cheapie did u go with?
  24. Is it wrong that there a certain allure of the rubbery strings (never played them mind you)
