About this deal

Action refers to how high the strings sit off the fretboard. This height determines how hard you must press to hit the right notes. Action also controls the way the notes will sound. Bamboo can appear to be durable compared to other woods and shrinks a little, especially in areas with sweeter humidity. Therefore, this ukulele won’t tease your fingers when you play it. Personally, I adopt a middle ground and lift the string gently off the saddle and pull on it to make sure the bridge knot is cinched tight. Then I lift the string out of the nut slot and repeat the same at the tuning peg. Bass ukes are usually tuned the same as standard basses (E-A-D-G), so that makes them easy to use in a variety of practicing, rehearsal, or performance scenarios. A fretless instrument, compared to a fretted instrument, allows for more sliding and “in-between” notes compared to fretted instruments. Some might say they are a little harder to play, too.

To an extent, you can’t go wrong with any of the above instruments. They are all highly rated and users generally had a good experience with them. Once you know that the ukulele is holding its pitch, it’s nice to tidy things up by trimming the loose string ends. Ukuleles come in four different size options: Soprano, Concert, Tenor, and Baritone. Why does this matter? Each size instrument sounds a little bit different. Each one will sound warmer and lighter than the previous one. All you REALLY need to change strings are: strings! Don’t take off your old strings until you have new ones to replace them with! Optional tools that make your life easier:Don’t forget that strings and frets do play a big part in the playability of your instrument. If you have already adjusted the truss rod, then the next thing to look at would be strings and frets. The double string design aims to make the note play more clearly and give the instrument an overall better sound. Its body is beautifully crafted from walnut wood and includes Aquila strings for that all-natural sound we love. Tenor ukuleles will have a warmer and richer sound than concerts. This is usually fine, but should be done with caution if you have a vintage ukulele that might respond negatively to being completely freed from strings. Use your judgement.

When they become hard to tune. I find that I have to tune an old set of strings much more often than a new one. Even when I can get them in tune, they still don’t sound quite right and the intonation is off.

When Should You Change Strings?

In terms of frets, if you’re handy, you may be able to file them down, replace them, or adjust them yourself. If not, it would be worth taking your instrument to a qualified tech. You will pay a fee to have your instrument looked at, but it’s usually worth it. Electronics The bamboo design allows for a cleaner, brighter sound when playing this ukulele. Bamboo is also much sturdier than most woods, guaranteeing you years of enjoyment from this affordable beginner ukulele. These babies allow you to practice while you’re away from home, and even join in on spontaneous jam sessions. Bass ukuleles don’t always come equipped with standard steel strings, so that might take some getting used to, if you’re used to playing standard electric basses. That said, you can always find string replacements online based on your preferences. The Caramel CUB402 electric ukulele bass comes with an all-solid mahogany body, Aquila ukulele bass strings, electronics, padded gig bag, strap, patch cable, wall hanger, and cleaning cloth.
