Well, I have really never played a bass that much, but I have been playin' banjo for two years now. I am sixteen years old. I enjoy the banjo alot, it's something to do. O fcourse I had to pick up the guitar, so I could get the girls. Not many girls like the banjo. Not in high school anyway. The love that "rap". Well anywayz, play the banjo......Its awesome. Or you can go both routes and play the banjo bass, they sell those in Musicians friends magazine. Good day.
