Question At last a loud acoustic bass......

Recently introduced, a double bass banjo giving a double bass player increased volume. Plays like a double bass, easier to carry, good tone. Check it out at www.bassbanjos.com.

Interesting. How about a whole lot more photos, closeups of various parts of the instrument, and--more importantly--some mp3 sound files?

It's actually not so small and it sounds exactly the way you'd expect a bass banjo to sound.

Wow, I'm so confused. I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now.

Thanks for posting. I'd love a chance to play one of these some day.

Anyone played their carbon fibre travel bass? The price seems a lot better than other CF basses, and it looks mostly like a regular bass.
