So the guy on the front desk of my building calls me to tell me that I have a Package.
Since I haven't ordered any guitars or amps or nuthin' I was wondering what it could be?

Turns-out that it is a really teeny bass guitar! :eek:

Actually it is a Ukulele, but it is still teeny for a Ukulele.

Or maybe I just remember them as being bigger.
Now I just gotta learn how to play one. :p

But this is a Really Cool toy. Thanx to Santa.

I prefer the "Teeny Four String Bass" myself!

Have you been "sleep-bidding" again?

Are you sure it was meant for you, maybe the bass player in Santa's Elf Band lost it?

I've been thinking that one of those would be fun… Santa, are you reading this? ;) I wonder if Al the Elf can get them?

Does that have a round back? (It doesn't look like it in the photo…)

What's the standard tuning on those mini-bass guitars?

It is just a teeny Applause. It doesn't have an Ovation-style roundback.
But it is a round-ed back. :p
It is made out some kind of Lyrachord-like substance tho'...


No place to plug-it-in neither.
It is teeny... It has a 13-5/8" scale.

Looks like a nice little guitar.

Christmas arrived early here as well; my wife got me this hat and then gave it to me right away because she couldn't stand looking at my old one any longer...lol

OMA, those things project pretty good for their size and always sound friendly. A good pull on the busking circuit.

Be careful...that's illegal in 48/50 states (Wyoming & N.Dakota operate under beggars can't be choosers).

Joe...is that the Dan Cartwright model?

Long lost brother to Adam, Hoss and Little Joe? Is there yet another wife of Ben Cartwright's that gave him a son and then died after childbirth? :)

Definitely a nice hat. I'll bet it would completely cover OMA's uke!!

His hometown is about 100 miles from here.

Yeah and there was a single action 44 supposed to come with it but that didn't make it across the border for some reason.
