Bob is the little bass uke that lives on the couch. He’s always within reach, always ready for a few quick lines to Andy’s fingers moving. For something this small, he puts out a warm, round thump that feels bigger than it should. He’s easy to play, easy to live with, and somehow ended up as half of the Bob & Doug duo without anyone questioning it.
♪ Four strings, tiny body, big attitude. Sounds familiar.
