MB-250 Overhaul - What are ya'lls setup?

From Wasburn on 7/21/2012 9:05:58 AM

I'm am getting a used MB250 soon. I am wondering if ya'll have any suggestions on what kind of setup(head, bridge, tailpiece, ect.) you recommend or currently have.

Can't wait to hear what ya'll have to say.

I also am thinking pretty hard on a new tone ring. Kind of partin this thing piece by piece, since I can not afford a 1500 dollar banjo,

Gibson Earl Scruggs Med signature strings and it is perfect for me. Refit the tone ring. It was on and stuck to the finish on the rim. It is exactly what I wanted to hear. It's all about your ear.
