Bishline Woody?

From Ragtimejoe on 8/28/2015 8:59:25 AM

Anyone have a Bishline woody? If so, how do you like it? Does it keep up in a bluegrass jam?

Thanks

Woody? I have the Barnes if that's what you mean, & it' plays like butter. Can't go wrong with it & Rob is a great dude. Mine is a bit custom in the colors (bronze "pitted" metal look to it... flickr.com/photos/69141893@N00...167647695

I sent my heirloom to Rob and co. a couple weeks ago to convert it to a woody. He is shipping it back to me today. I'll let you know how I like it.

Mine is a Cimmaron with a maple tone ring instead of a metal tone ring. He has a video on YouTube comparing the two tone ring. Not much of a difference except the wood tone ring is model is 6 lbs and works mighty fine for clawhammer as well. It's become my go to banjo if I don't if I going to be playing bluegrass or old time.

I bought a Barnes about a year ago. I have had an RB-250 for 40 years. Both great banjos, but the woody is just as loud, sounds mellower such that I can hear where my melody may go next better, and yes plays like butter. I have owned and played a lot of great banjos, and this one is head and shoulders above the next best. Rob's a great guy too.
