Thread: Electric Ukulele

Oh should have added it must fit inside a box 500x500x500mm hence the uke.

hmm iv always been intrested in ukes, but i have never understood them, how they are tuned, etc....
and im yet to find someone who will give me a run through.. lol

steel strings on a uke?
then it wouldnt be a uke?? lol

i think others will tell you to go with one of them piezo things

however if you do get told you can use steel strings... then you can use a tele neck pup or lipstick pup....

but remember.. i know nothing

Hi Chris,

Check out this thread on the MIMF http://mimf.com/cgi-bin/[email protected]@.2cb693dd

Woodwork at Uni???

You can do that???

What course are you doing?

Try Rob at Jupiter Creek. He'll have all the bits and will gladly give you any advice you need.

Cheers Hip.

Thanks for the links guys. Have to start this next week so id like to get ahead of it all as i have a few assigns to work on being a 3rd year.

And Paul I'm doing a course on Technology Education at Griffith in QLD.
It's what manual arts is becoming, so i learn wood work, metal work, plastics, design, graphics, CAD, etc.
Seems it may be cancelled in a couple of years though as we didn't get enough first years which is a shame.

I hate to be nit picky but solid body, steel strings and coil pickups...is it really a uke? More like a short scale electric isnt it? Rob at Jupiter Creek is making such instruments and would be worth talking to as suggested.
