Gold Tone banjos and Banjitars are hand-crafted with carefully selected woods, excellent finishes, quality hardware, and "tight" fitting parts. A new sound for bass players, the BB-400 has an uncanny resemblance to the tone of an upright acoustic bass with our special sliding mag pickup. A slim maple neck and a 13" maple body makes the Banjo Bass a comfortable instrument to play. The BB-400 has extremely quick hammers, pull-offs, and slides. It is especially suited to play slap bass techniques. The BB-400 is available with frets or as a fretless model. Bass players are amazed at this new tone for the "Low End".
