I feel as though I ought to have an option to issue an "automatic like" when you post a video!

I agree with Al, Weems always brings the heat haha

Thanks for the picture, what is the tuning?
Comment by Tom Berghan on September 6, 2016 at 4:08pm
My bass banjo is tuned the same as any bass - double bass or bass guitar: GDAE (tuned in fourths). This instrument has a 32 inch scale and a 14 inch rim. It has a thick calf skin hide head.
Here is a link to the bass banjo playing some solos on "Clinch Mountain Backstep."
