jd56hawk Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I'm waiting for the official video. Not necessarily to hear how it sounds, but to hear how Fender tub-thumps it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Nice! I wish they offered a fretless though. https://www.fender.com/en-GB/ukuleles/concert/fullerton-precision-bass-uke/0970583500.html Edited July 15, 2023 by dannybuoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, they don't float my boat but I can see why they're attractive to people who like Ukes. I don't want to put a downer on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I’d like to hear one, possibly to keep about at our caravan or something. Handy if it can do that thumpy upright thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Is there any point to the soundhole, the body doesn’t look thick enough to produce much of an acoustic sound and the scratch plate probably deadens it a bit more.

The soundhole makes it look funny. Other than that, I'd like to see this guy playing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I would have preferred to have seen a solid body version, much like the Harley Benton ones (as below). Less feed-back woes etc. Edited July 17, 2023 by MuddBass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoirBass Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Has anyone got one of these yet? I’ve seen a few pop up overseas. I put my money down months ago and still no sign, stock dates keep moving back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoirBass Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Mine arrived today. On first play it was quite buzzy, in need of a setup I suspect - quite fun though. However, plugging it in it sounded a whole lot better. Warm, rich low end and a decent, even articulate mid/top. It seems whoever was demoing the bass above left the tone control rolled full up, which does lead to it sounding horrible and scratchy. Set at midday or less allows the Uke to sound a lot like a standard bass particularly with its round wound strings. I’m warming to it slowly and hoping it’ll be more than just a novelty ‘mini’ bass. I shall test it out on a gig later this week and report back. I’m pretty sure my band mates will hate it! 😆 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
