I never liked ukulele basses, but this thing looks like it's a different league. Do the strings "stick" to the fingers like it happens with ukulele basses, or do they glide reasonably?
depends on the strings. you can get rubbery strings or more traditional wire wound strings (what my ubass has). each gives a different sound of course so it depends on what youre looking for as far as that goes.. and you do need a different nut for each type; the rubber strings are thicker. so swapping back and forth is a pain.
I see. I've tried "normal" (el cheapo) rubber strings on ukuleles - not for me. I wonder if the stock strings on the microbass (rubber too, but with a fancy name) are any different.
