I realize that it's been several years and you may have moved on to something else by now so if you have another suggestion for a passive UST I'd love to hear it. Thanks!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345222254741558941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-67895204804243387052018-05-29T00:03:37.446+01:002018-05-29T00:03:37.446+01:00Thanks for another excellent and helpful review!
...Thanks for another excellent and helpful review!<br /><br />I want to make a fussy comment on terminology. As a young man I worked for an electronics component supplier for a few years where accurate terminology was essential. I found out that though many think a jack can be male or female, a “jack” is always the female portion, so “jack socket” is redundant. I think you said that to differentiate it from a male connector, which is actually called a plug. The male fitting on the end of a wire that fits into a jack is not a jack, but a “plug”. So “jack” = “socket” = “port” = “female”. But a “plug” = “male” and is never a “jack”. There are actually female plugs though. These are fittings on the end of a wire that plugs into a recessed socket which has recessed male contacts within the recess. Some detachable computer power cords are like this on the portion that plugs directly into the computer.<br /><br />Sorry for my fastidiousness here. I thought the process description was excellent, but confusing when you described how to fish the jack out through the hole. I think what you meant was to insert the end of a cable with a thin enough plug to fit through the hole. You then plug the plug into the jack, and pull both back through the hole.<br /><br />https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001379.htmDionysishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883882768082139035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-22500435181495467982015-09-04T09:13:58.607+01:002015-09-04T09:13:58.607+01:00It's got a load of controls - thanks for the a...It's got a load of controls - thanks for the advice - I think I'll hold back on a pickup and just get the V2C giving me the chance to upgrade to a passive pickup later.nitrombonisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978198586439375396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-63524309392478149662015-09-04T08:38:37.584+01:002015-09-04T08:38:37.584+01:00Nothing wrong with Shadow pickups - but is it a pa...Nothing wrong with Shadow pickups - but is it a passive one or complete with a load of controls and stuff?

I've been looking at the Baton Rouge V2-CCE which I assume is the pickup version of the BR V2-C. It has a Shadow JW1 pickup and costs about £60 more than the V2-C. Barry - in your opinion is it worth paying the extra for this pickup?nitrombonisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978198586439375396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-76289738608677111762014-08-18T07:50:35.976+01:002014-08-18T07:50:35.976+01:00Great ukes Alan, sweet pickup, and a good uke stor...Great ukes Alan, sweet pickup, and a good uke store too.

I've never really gone through the differences between electrified and non, but it might make a difference - you have got me thinking now. Personally though, I didn't change the string brand and think this one sounds great!Barry Mazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731777711884288947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-38411392239825489142014-08-07T14:04:48.251+01:002014-08-07T14:04:48.251+01:00Hi Barry, very helpful article.

Does the jack socket and button weigh much, as I'm thinking of fitting one to a soprano and was wondering if it would make a difference to the balance of the uke. Also, do you think different types of string affect the tone of the uke when amplified, as much as they can when playing just acoustically?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16278176709630219211noreply@blogger.com
