Hi John, I enjoy your posts on BHO.
What do you think tonally of the big Vega pots? i have an N tenor, similar to the Little Wonder, converted to a 5 string that has the deepest bass I've ever heard on a banjo. I'm thinking of picking up a Tubaphone big pot and putting a 5 string neck it.
Your thoughts ?
Cheers,
Guy T.
Thanks - jasper
Hi Guy,
I generally like big pots better than small pots regardless of the type of banjo. Of course, the scale length needs to be lengthened to compensate for the larger pot sizes, but I don't find longer scale necks to be a problem. I think you'll like how large pot Tubaphones sound. That tone ring design is so powerful that it's really suited to larger pots. If you're after a lot of bass, try and find a 12" Weaver with a tall pot or a Clifford Essex Professional. You'll be blown away.
Regards,
