Well, It's Not a Bass But Has 4 strings.

I had to drop by a guitar shop the other day and my almost 9 year old caught a case of love at first sight. Made birthday shopping easier though... And now we both get to learn uke!

Piezo pickup? Or is the amp for something else?

It's got a piezo but makes enough volume acoustically that you can play without an amp. It sounds pretty good either way. And according to the reviews I found on Amazon it sounds even better with good strings (I bought some but didn't put them on yet).

It's hard for me to think of them without thinking of George Harrison.
