Can't say I remember that... 'Course, I was in college and probably more interested in girls and beer than flavored peanut butter...BAD RONBO, KiLLeR DWaRfS wrote:i like koogle better...cjj wrote:Google is your friend...

Re: BASS BANJO ???
if you look at the body diameter /fretboard width in the first pic , it's way larger than all the other versions in these posts. look at the relationship of the body size to the counter width . and in the ad,tucked in the strings, looks like it is to be played as an upright ???
Re: BASS BANJO ???
According to the picture on this page, I think you are correct, the original bass banjos were made to be played upright style...
