Hey Joe, thanks for the reply. I will be sitting most probably all the time. I will be playing and singing for my own entertainment. I mostly wanted to amp the uke as it doesn't have a lot of projection. Also, I like the idea that I can shape the sound with the amps built-in fx and equalizer. Also, like everyone else I'm trying to save on $$$. Yes, I have great respect for Mac. The mics he suggest really are about twice that of the one I mentioned. I still may go his route but then I would need two mics costing around $200.... A little steep for a retired bloke.
