Killing me Softly

Here's my rendition of a Roberta Flack classic! I heard Ledward Kaapana playing this and fell in love with the song. I'm also using my Bugs Gear Eleuke. Please let me know what you think of the song and the uke. Mahalo!

Is it possible to plug a eleuke into a electric guitar amplifier? If so, can you also use distortion effects and effect pedals? BTW great song ;)

@KahFlex

Thank you for the comment! Yes it is possible to use guitar effects with an eleuke. I do it depending on what type of song I'm doing and with which band...(i.e. Rock band, Fuzzbox, compressor, flanger. Reggae: Delay, super chorus, Wah. Etc.) You may have to adjust the effects to stop the occasional feedback but all n all it sounds really awesome! Try it and let me know how it goes! =)

Thanks very much for sharing this. I am looking at picking up this brand in concert size. How is the action/setup on this? How is the sound through the headphones?

You're welcome senator. Actually this particular eleuke has excellent sound when plugged into an amp. (Which is how I have it here.) I shortened down the frets for more action but it alrerady comes with the string action pretty low already. All in all it is a pretty good lightweight ukulele worth picking up. =)

Thanks for the valuable info. These are pretty much available only online where I am and I hate to commit to one without hearing some good words from current owners.

No prob! Glad to help! =)

Thank you for the comment. It's an Eleuke. It's made in Japan. It has a good sound when plugged in to an amp. :)
