Recording King RB-036 ne ultra plus submitted 2/18/2007 Submitter Patrick P. Where Purchased Banjohut Year Purchased 2007 Price Paid 975 ($US) Sound Very delicate, but has a good volume. You can play hard driving bluegrass on it. I love this sound. Not as powerful as my 2 others banjos (they are really LOUD !) Sound Rating 9 Setup Action was very low. Some buzzes on the 3rd string. Just replaced the 5/8 " bridge with a vintage z elite 11/16" bridge. No buzz and action is still low ! Great improvment with this bridge, tooks only 5 minutes. Setup Rating 6 Appearance Very nice and well built. No defect on tree of life, frets, etc... All is good ! Junction neck rim is flawless, you can feel the neck vibrate. I've 2 others banjos with custom necks built by luthiers according with my specifications. I prefer the neck of the Recording King. It"s very easy to play. Really impressive Appearance Rating 10 Reliability Hardware and finish look excellent. Reliability Rating 10 Customer Service It's the first time I deal with banjohut. Nice guys ! Customer Service 10 Components All seems excellent. Just change the bridge. Components Rating 10 Overall Comments I highly recommend this banjo.

Blue Star Banjoblaster submitted 5/10/2006 Submitter Patrick P. Where Purchased Elderly Year Purchased 2006 Price Paid 712 ($US) Sound Very nice sound, full of sustain. Great for playing jazz but not harddriving bluegrass ! Sound Rating 8 Setup Flawless. Action is very low, no buzz, very easy to play, just have to retune the strings. Setup Rating 10 Appearance Really nice. Looks like a toy. It's funny to play my regular banjo 6.8 kg and the banjoblaster, only 2.8 kg. Appearance Rating 10 Reliability Not tested for the moment. Seems good. Reliability Rating not rated Customer Service I'm very happy with Elderly. I've an answer on all my questions very quickly. Ordered the 4 may 2006, received the 9 may 2006 ! Customer Service 10 Components No truss rod in the neck. That's my only reserve. Other things seems really good. Components Rating 8 Overall Comments I really love the banjoblaster. I've wanted to play an electric guitar with a banjo neck, for that banjoblaster was my choice. For the moment, I play the banjoblaster connected with an AER alpha. I've the intention to buy a Fender GDEC for playing blues, rock and metal !!! Just one thing, I live in France 145 $ shipping taxes and... 225 $ customs taxes, oops... Overall Rating 10
