Weather King versus FIve Star Heads for Gibson Mastertone

Sunday, April 25, 2010

What is the view on pros and cons of each of  these two banjo heads ?

Any particular differences ?

 

Also,

If you have tried the FIshman  banjo pickup, do you use a preamp and what kind ?

 

Thanks,

Greg McClure
