Big Island EUL-SMP-N Long Neck Concert Electric Ukulele with bag

We're impressed with this electric Big Island concert ukulele. Electric ukuleles are definitely very of the moment! Lots are now available from Risa, IMUA, Pono and now Big Island have joined in.

These ukes, made in China, are excellent value for money. They're about half the price of comparably specced models from Pono and IMUA - but you still get the Fishman Pro passive undersaddle uke pickup. It comes with a nice padded gigbag and beautiful looking cuts of wood.

This model has a chambered body, like a lot of the electric ukes available today, which makes them nice and light and ideal for stage use. With only a simple volume control knob onboard, you would need to rely on your amp or pre-amp unit for your tone shaping.

But, the Fishman pickup on the Big Island concert ukulele makes a good sound which does sound authentically ukulele-ish, not at all electric guitar like. ​Bear in mind that there is very little acoustic volume - enough for quiet late night personal practice - so you'll need a headphone amp or amplifier, and an instrument cable, to make noise!
