7string Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 The bass player with the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain plays an acoustic bass guitar. Maybe he should get a bass uke for more authenticity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmsheep Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Doesnt he also play a tenor guitar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7string Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Could do. I only have the "Anarchy in the Ukulele" DVD to go by, so I may be a bit behind the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 When I saw the UOGB, the bassist called his acoustic bass guitar a bass uke as a sort of joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, they say it's a prototype, and a production one would be shorter scale, and not have the fifth string. So it's barely any longer than an Ashbory, and that's close to half the scale length of a standard 4-string bass. I'll bet it's much more expensive than an Ashbory ... for a limited use/holiday/travel bass Edited February 8, 2009 by BigBeatNut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
