Good Day All,
I know it's come up in the past but since this place is as dead as the search feature, I figured I'd just start a new thread.
I've been thinking about a "mini" or short scaled 4 string in line with my "cheapo" aesthetic. Honestly, just something to have at hand near the couch in my luxurious estate for fleeting moments of inspiration which tends to come at my physical worst. This can be translated as, when I get up, my body can sound like a haunted house and I'm scarred I'll loose the rhythm in my head before I feel the strings.
Jackson has a cool little electric but I'm likely not to plug it in when couch bound. I do the same presently with my electrics as it's usually late. I do have a cheapo Ibanez acoustic but it's too big.
That brings me to today. A friend of a friend, all trustworthy, nothing to worry about there (plus, I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE), has a new (less than 10 hours playtime) U-Bass Journeyman with a bag. I haven't laid hands on it but will before paying. No real bargain compared to online, save shipping and hassling, and they could use the dough.
Anybody have any experience with the U-Bass? Is it garbage or worth the price? There are some cheaper varieties. Is it more Uke than Bass?
Any recommendations of other Little Thick Strings?
(hummm... That almost sounds like... nah.)
