bit the bullet....

Friday, March 2, 2007

well,i finally bit the bullet+am now starving having blown all my money on a deering goodtime special,my first proper banjo,my beginners model ashbury is still getting some abuse,abecause if i learn a tune on it then pick up the deering,the difference in tone and playability is staggering,which is a huge inspiration.would love to try a pre-war mastertone,just to find out if the hype is true,but for now am very happy bunny-would seriously recommend a deering to anyone with a student model-mine cost 400 brand new,resonator model(am a bluegrass picker,so need that wooden bowl),and has a tone ring-was best one in shop for tone +ease of playing,far surpassing the more expensive,chinese/korean stuff that were drenched in loads of fancy inlays,but twice(or more)the price.my playing has improved loads since i bought it,wouldnt selll it for all the tea in china Add Comment
