This will run you another $30-100 depending on how nice you want to go. One thing to consider when buying this instrument is that if you don’t already have an amplifier, you’ll need to get one. Overall, the Vorson Electric Ukulele is a recommended buy for those looking for a beginner electric ukulele. Definitely an entry-level system – you’d probably want a more expensive amplifier if you know electric instruments are your kind of thing.
Overall, we think it sounds great for a total setup that cost ~$170. We tested this ukulele with a Fender 10g, here’s our sound test that you can watch for a feel of how this uke sounds – There’s no real rules for what settings you should use when it comes to the knobs and switch, just play around and see what sounds best for your music! There are 3 settings – first, both pickups, or second. The switch adjusts which pickups (black bars under the strings on the body) are used to gather the sound to send to the amp. The top knob adjusts the volume output, while the bottom knob adjust the tone of the instrument. The two knobs and switch help you adjust the sound that your amplifier will output. You need to get an amplifier in order to truly use this ukulele (we have a list of the best ukulele amplifiers if you’re in need).Īlso, for the amp to work you must use metal strings like the ones that come with it or guitar strings. It can hear enough to practice without an amp in a quiet room, but it’s really not loud enough to perform with. This is the section you’re probably most interested in – how does the Vorson Electric Ukulele sound?įor starters, one thing you should know is for an electric ukulele like this, it doesn’t generate much sound on its own.
Time will tell, but I would be shocked if any durability issues arise with them. The knobs and slider which adjust the sound output of your ukulele feel very smooth and solid. They don’t sound terrible by any means, but given that this is an entry-level instrument you can get some better sound from it if you were to spend some money upgrading the strings. The one downside of this ukulele is the strings aren’t the best.
I didn’t detect any buzzing due to loose frets or any other hardware issues so playing the instrument has been excellent. The geared tuners worked well and are holding the tuning nicely. Everything was very tight and well put-together, all I had to do was tune up the strings and it was ready to play. Upon first inspection of the Vorson electric uke, it looks and feels very solid. If you’re going to be doing a lot of traveling, look into some better solutions for traveling with a ukulele. The canvas carrying bag isn’t the best quality and it’s certainly not going to protect the ukulele from any damage, but it’s better than nothing when it comes to transporting this instrument. This ukulele also came with a canvas carrying bag and cable to plug into an amp. Here’s an overview of the FSUK1BK model features – Typically available for ~$100, the Vorson Electric Ukulele lets you get your feet wet without breaking the bank. zZounds (as amazing as they are) can pack this thing with a personal bodyguard and it won't do any good if Vorson just throws it in a box.The Vorson Electric Ukulele is a great cheap electric ukulele, perfect for the beginner musician or ukulele player that has never touched an electric instrument before. Also, (unrelated to shipping) the headstock has two spots where the finish was imperfect and was covered over with what looks like a black sharpie? Again, I believe this to have been done at the factory. when I got it I had to buff a few scuffs out of the otherwise beautiful finish. The problem is the Uke banged around inside the vinyl gig bag for 2 days in transit. zZounds packaged the manufacturer's package in a box and protected that reasonably well. The Uke was packaged as follows: the manufacturer's original packaging was the Uke placed (unprotected) in the gig bag, and the gig bag placed (unprotected) in a carton. There was something neat about seeing her dig into what looks like a minture version of one of my guitars but have it be in a form she was already very familiar with (Uke).The issue is in the manufacturer's quality control. My daughter plays the Ukulele and really took to the opportunity to plug in and mess around with the sounds of a strat-style, steel-stringed, non-piezo, magnetic pick-up, electric instrument.
