Bass Banjos
Bass banjos blend the deep low end of an upright bass with the bright punch and bark of a banjo head. Gold Tone’s BB-400+ Banjo Bass is a 4-string acoustic-electric bass built on a 12-inch banjo rim with a Fishman pickup and onboard preamp, available in both right and left-handed configurations. Players who want low-end character without hauling around an upright find the banjo bass a practical alternative for bluegrass, folk, and acoustic group settings. Every Bass Banjo we sell ships with a free professional setup and our 7-day satisfaction guarantee. Call (404) 218-8580 to discuss current inventory or pre-orders.
