S.U.S.: I may well be in touch with you about the Ubass. What amp do you recommend with it?

Jodi: It certainly gave me a few ideas too.

What a clever pinup pose! Why didn’t I think of that?

Yes Al, the fretted and fretless u-bass have arrived and I spend a lot of my time saying to customers “yes that bass really is coming out of that uke” . They really are incredible !

Jon: Could well be a case of that. The seller doesn’t mention any modifications, though.

karl: It was the 30s, the Great Depression. I expect all our ukes will be like that before long.

The African-American lady only has one tuning peg, and it’s stuck in backwards!

About the “1910 Nunes”, it might be that old. A friend was recently given a very old weissenborn that had been “maritinized” with a newer fretboard and bridge. The owner was an elderly woman, a retired professional musician. She claimed that she was given the ukulele as a child in the mid ’20’s. I wonder if someone in California wasn’t “improving” ukuleles with that modification.
