I played a Uke Bass with these https://kalabrand.com/products/kala-metal-round-wound-u-bass-strings?variant=6032410753
on it yesterday. Proper Bass Guitar pitch and really nice. Nylon core so you will need a piezo pickup - but worth a thought.
The vibe was very good. As usual I got a burst of unexpected GAS. I find it very easy to persuade myself that I need "something different" from what I have, but I got to play a bunch of other stuff which were all lovely but came away thinking "I am happy with what I have".
Any of the plank bass bashes have open fires with logs the size of small chairs? Eh........? Eh.........? No, I thought not. Come on plank spankers! Up your game!
Where I live has advantages and disadvantages. Like anywhere I guess. But it is beautiful. I am afraid I am not looking for trades, I am bassed to the max and do not need anything else. But thanks for asking.
