Hi i had a ozark 2115G banjo which i thought was great i paid £300 on ebay and it was mind but i sold it and was gutted. Ive bought a deering goodtime open back but it doesnt sound no where near as good as my ozark anyway im going to sell the deering but i need a bit of advice whether to get a new on fro andy banjo or look for one on ebay again. My budget is about 5 to 7 hundred.

	alfiedog says: 3/22/2018 5:59:37 PM £500-£700 That's a pretty big budget. Look at the RK range 35-36-75, but dont get another Deering....

	Banjojono says: 3/30/2018 4:53:20 AM Depends what tone your looking for and what style you play. I bought an Ashbury ab45 on ebay for £150 it's retail is around £300-£500. I spent a lot of time setting it up how I like it and it has a good sound now though I am now on the lookout for a gold star. You take a risk on ebay that it could get broke but probably get more bang for your buck so to speak. Having said that. If you buy second hand from a good retailer online you have the assurance that if it gets broke you can get your money back. That happened to me recently and I got a full refund and collection.
