I was looking for something a) cool and b) with a tad more volume to help lead a big uke jam, without lugging an amp around.<br /><br />The strings weren't at all balanced, and it took a lot.of work to get half decent. The inbuilt amp & speaker volume was very disappointing. Dunno why, coz it's rated at 2W, and my little Honeytone amp whacks it out at that rating.<br /><br />Considered tweaking the electrics with a new amp & speaker, but just couldn't be bothered.<br /><br />Sold it on eBay for £104.<br /><br />Looked cute though, and my Brian Jones impersonation was a wonder to behold.<br />TonyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391376081377624211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-18494239593379783832015-10-02T12:56:29.967+01:002015-10-02T12:56:29.967+01:00I think it would be easy enough - but then I would...I think it would be easy enough - but then I would actually ditch the onboard speaker - it's just so pointless!Barry Mazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731777711884288947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724767841739249964.post-68908521541013274692015-10-02T12:53:49.742+01:002015-10-02T12:53:49.742+01:00Seeing that the access through the back is so easy...Seeing that the access through the back is so easy, and given that the pickup itself is decent, I wondered if it would be a big deal to replace the active circuit and perhaps even the speaker with something slightly better, out of a micro-amp fe.<br /><br />Leaving out the onboard speaker would be a no-go, since that's the selling point of this instrument, along with the retro stylings.Liesbeth en Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16859920679736825433noreply@blogger.com
