Default Mini Banjo for Recording

I am having a blast playing this "Jam-Jo", a six string cross over with a nice banjo sound.

I wanted to get a 6 string banjo but thus far, the few samples I played did not sound nice---they were all a few hundred dollars. I don't have time to learn the 5 string but really wanted to add to my home recording.

I found it on ebay after bidding on a few 6 string banjos (and losing)...

This is the first song I have recorded with it. Tascam DP 008:

Too much bass, and a lot to learn, but I am having fun. I got an acoustic/electric bass this past summer, and am adding instrument after instrument, little by little.

The "Jam-Jo" is made in the USA, very sold feel, but a nice 'banjo' sound.

Not bad. A little janglier perhaps than a standard 5-string, but still a pleasant tone. I like this arrangement of the song and I enjoyed your singing!
