Anybody see this on eBay? Anyone ever heard of these before? I don't play the banjo, nor do I have $6k to start trying, but this think is pretty cool:

I guess they are pretty rare. Part of that late '60's purple patch. I love 'em!

What's more rare, the Banjoline or the Bantar?

I would have thought the Bantar.......or maybe the 6005?

Ronnie Wood hauled out a Banjoline when the Stones played the SARS concert in Toronto in '03. Insobriety at the time prevents me from remembering much else, but I thought that choice of instrument was pretty cool.

Hey Graham, do you have any recordings of you on the Banjoline or the Bantar?

Each of these are the rarest Rick as there is only one of each extant.

Graham's late 60's bantar with a late 60's 4005 bass... Almost what you asked for, just no Graham.
