Lotsa changes, there, Fingerstyle! Hope it retained its "vintage value"
Have you ever considered getting rid of the "Scruggs tuners" for the Keith tuners? Rumor has it they're MUCH smoother, and far-less instrusive.

Maybe this thread needs to invent a new acronym: "B.A.S"
{will the "mods" want to start a "Banjo forum"? Seems like there are more than a few lurking in the bushes around here! Actually-I like the diversion, and think it's fine right where it is--my 2 cents}
