Kahuna CLU-Bass Ukulele : Fun Ubass.. don't expect miracles

I ordered this Ubass with a pair of thundergut strings because on the internet, people where complaining about the "sticky" strings (they're like rubbery elastic). It turned out the Ubass actually is equiped with thundergut strings which are still very "sticky". The CLU Ubass is a fun instrument and it does sound a little like upright bass. I was planning on taking it to gigs as a backup for my URB but to be honest, even though it's great fun to play, I doesn't come close and I would not gig with it. Some positions have serieus rattle 'n' hum, it's fun but no more than that. When connected to an amp, the sound is impressive and the controls are very efficient. Also the internal tuner is handy (but not that accurate compared to a "serious" tuner). A fun but not a professional instrument. Of course you can't expect that for the price but still, for a gimmick it's a little too expensive. I'm ordering the HB electric URB, probably a better backup.
