This video was super helpful! I've had my eye on this ukulele for awhile now, but haven't been sure if I want to pull the trigger on buying it. Watching you play it was enough for me to finally order one :D great video!!!
Me too! Haven’t purchase yet but I’ve been looking at this exact same model (and color) that Ben nicely demonstrates here. Can anyone tell me the total length? I found the specs for the scale length but can’t find the the total length for this tenor tele.
Thank you for this helpful review! I really need a new ukulele since my current ukulele is starting to show its age a bit... Seems like i’ll be saving up for a year to buy this bad boy!
Why Fender don't open eyes? They do this year one same color but acustic Ukelele, they are good in electric guitars, it is only do a electric Ukulele...Now I have two new Ukuleles from Flight, a Vitoria Concert and the new Fireball, they are electric/acustic.
ha ! yes it's hidden but super easy ... just turn your uke around, see, behind it, you put the thin end of the string in the whole, pull the other side all the way and voilà. The little metal circle bit will hold your string there.
Is this a Concert Electric Ukulele? I have been playing the Ukulele for over 3 years now. But I have never tried an electric ukulele. Ive heard other electric ukulele's give an even grungry sound while playing sounds for AC/DC or Metlaicca or Alice in Chains. And I want to know what kind of foot pedal box is best to get for an electric ukulele and I also am trying to learn how to play an actual accoustic and electric guitar. I dont know much about other guitars. I want a good quality electric guitar and accoustic guitar that plugs up into an amp and has a built in tuner. But I dont want to spend a fortune since Im just learning. I already have an old accoustic guitar and an old Kay electric guitar. I think I need new strings on the electric cause it keeps buzzing on certain strings even when its properly tuned up. I still dont have a foot pedal box. I dont know which one is best to get. I like all kinds of genre of music. I play Rock, pop, Gospel, country and some blues. And I need to have a versatile electric guitar and electric ukulele that soujds great for any kind of genre of music. Any advice would be most helpful. I would like to stay in the $300 or less range. But I realize it will cost mkre when it comes to larger electric guitars. But there is a music shop that sales used guitars. If I know what to look out for I can keep an eye out for a good deal. Also, Ive been following marty music youtube channel and justin guitar youtube channel who teach how to play the electric guitar. I just bought justinguitars songbook. I need to also get the beginners course book that comes with 2 cd's. I would learn vest if I can find good detailed books that explain everything in good detail and also come with dvds on tutorials on how to play riffs and songs. Cause I play better also by ear and it helps me learn the song faster. I cannot read music. I just follow tthe graphics and tabs etc. But even Stevie Ray Vaughn did not read music. So im not worrying about that. Lol! Does anybody have any youtube channel suggestions for either Ukulele or accoustic teaching tutorials or books with dvds to order that could help me?
I know it’s a couple of months past now so I don’t know if this will help, but I might as well try give you some advice. Firstly, this is a tenor size. The only electric ukuleles I have seen are in soprano and tenor, even then, the vast majority are tenor. For an electric guitar, Squier by Fender is very affordable with good quality. The most versatile would be a Squier Stratocaster with a HSS pickup configuration (Humbucker, Single, Single). The electric ukulele is much harder as it is a much smaller market. Risa is by far the best brand, but more pricey because of that. I’ve heard that Vorson is very affordable, but not very high quality. Flight is a good middle-ground brand, they aren’t cheap and they aren’t expensive, but they have decent quality. Nothing compares to the Risa models, but they are expensive. So I would say a Squier Stratocaster HSS electric guitar and a Flight electric ukulele (either Pathfinder or Centurion depending on what you prefer). As for pedals and the other stuff, I don’t really know about that. I hope this helps.
"And I want to know what kind of foot pedal box is best to get for an electric ukulele" That's all personal taste. Think of it in the same way you would an electric guitar. You don't need a pedal at all. I think a bit of reverb really helps as without that, the guitar/ukulele sounds lifeless to me. You might want to check out Bernadette Teaches Music and Lara Markowitz.
Thank you for your soulful review, liked it a lot! Liked and subbed! Look, a serious question now: I've watched quite a few reviews of electric ukuleles (Risa, Flight), and they all seem to look nice, but they don't seem to stay in tune! Did you have any problems with this one? Oh, and by the way, what country are you from?))) I could not tell by your accent))) Anyway, thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much. You talk about the risa pedal to make it sound like there’s a hole in it. What pedal is that and where to buy? Greetz from Amsterdam
Great ukulele, it sounds fantastic. I suppose that the metal strings are totally different than the normal strings, its more difficult to play with metal strings?, the strings are "harder" in the electric uke than de nylon strings? thanks a lot for your video.
I wouldn't say that actually. The strings are thinner, but they are actually easier to bend (ie play bends on) which means you have more control and playability to do those bluesy riffs. You can do bigger bends too.
I saw Jeff Beck play this with Beck Bogert & Appice in Long Beach about 1973. He followed Freddie King who never used a pick and Jeff was playing more than half with no pick. The talk box was used by Jeff during that concert about 2 years before Peter Frampton did his talk box song. th-cam.com/video/TZlFTbvfKPE/w-d-xo.html And this was with Rod Stewart at his prime. th-cam.com/video/yC_j_dzkaVE/w-d-xo.html
It costs more than a guitar... 🤔 As much as I love ukulele being charged more, for less material doesn't add up. Will stick to my guitar, with capo on the 5th fret + get 2 extra strings 😂😂
Listening from Korea, sound is loud and clear!!
woha!! Im a ukulele player who is getting into e guitar but now Ill comeback to my ukulele again! need thay one asap :D
I am a guitar player that plays my friends $200 dollar ukulele and he has not had one Ukulele lesson and neither have I lol

Thank you for this helpful review! I really need a new ukulele since my current ukulele is starting to show its age a bit...

This is such an awesome ukulele. Imagine shredding to a really cute ukulele song. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I can hear it all the way from Philippines.
I’m buying one right now that’s so cool thanks 🙂
yeaah ! BSB too ? (butterscotch blonde: redir.love/QaHIanZ2 ) that model is in surfer green also or something like that
They now make Steel Ukulele Strings for High and Low G tunings.
Can you do a lesson series with solid body ukulele? I'm struggling with mine. Thank you.
you mean solid body electric like this one ?
I hear you loud in Norway😁
Hi can you tune it CGDA ?

Hearing the sound from Germany :D
In Austria we could hear it also!
You spelt Australia wrong
@@honeybadgerstudios21 🤣 mea culpa, mea maxima culpa... and how would you spell Vienna correctly?
@@aetamat with the word sausage at the end. For example Vienna Sausage 😂😂
@@aetamat I’m just joking btw I’ve always wanted to visit Austria, closest I’ve been is Rhineland Germany
Ok, so I now have my Risa LP uke in sunburst and a Fender Mustang GT 40 (sounds really racy) amp and now, I need to play some blues.
Well I've got just the tutorials for you ! ^^
What a beautiful instrument, I love it. I have been watching a couple of your blues videos this morning.
I also own a RISA Tele but my only question in life is how to restring it, I have no idea
ha ! yes it's hidden but super easy ... just turn your uke around, see, behind it, you put the thin end of the string in the whole, pull the other side all the way and voilà. The little metal circle bit will hold your string there.
@@BensUkeTutes thank you!!!, you have saved my life you are the best

Salut Ben, c’est quoi ce blues de dingue à 8’15 ? On peut le trouvé sur ton patreon ? Thanks
haha juste une impro ^^ just a little bit of improvising
Superbe, je vais tenté de le reproduire car il est très stylé ce reef 👍

@@BensUkeTutes OK thanks! It is a very interesting instrument, it will be one of the applicants for the purchase of my next ukulele.
May I know which amplifier were you using? Thank you.
is the distortion from the amp? or from the uke?
amp :)

4 me I'm letting my finger nails grow so I can play my guitar cause if I use a pick it tries 2 slip out of my hand I don't like that.
Great Vid Many Thanks Subscribed
Love this!!! hahahaha!!!!!
😍
Why does this video have a dislike

Haha. Yes you have to feel it's the right time for a purchase like that.
