So I got this gorgeous Kala spalted maple tenor uke a few weeks ago. It needs a pickup installed if I am ever going to seriously play it on stage (I am planning to do so on March 21). On calling a recommended repair person to check the prices, I found would cost me almost as much as the uke is worth to have a pickup installed - once you add in the cost of the K&K Twin-Spot we are going to use.
Incidentally, I have a K&K Hot Spot on my Flea, and I LOVE IT. Nice, easy, warm sound.
Soooo anyhoo, we found this video online outlining the process of doing the installation at home. Between the two of us, we are pretty damn handy, so we are going to go for it!
I think the video is pretty charming on its own.
I'll report back after the fact - wish us luck! If it works, we'll do the exact same thing on my Kala lacewood spruce baritone ukulele!
