[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 556471, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]I've always wanted to learn enough bass to noodle around when listening to music. I have an electric bass guitar, but it's big and relatively heavy and I'm old and shrinking. I thought I might buy a bass uke, but it's an investment that I might find to be wasteful, if not fruitless. I scoured the web for a couple of hours and finally came upon an idea on a uke forum. Use the EADG strings from a fractional 1/8 size set of classical strings on a baritone uke. I have more than one baritone uke. Apparently the only modification necessary is to widen a couple of slots on the nut. It's a bass, but one full octave down from a bass guitar, therefore piccolo bass.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
