I’m an absolute beginner- I have been advised to leave it on the stand so it’s ready for a practice at any time!

Good advice Ron, you never know when you are going to feel the need for a quick burst on yer banjo.

Nick - lovely bass, I have always admired those Ricky basses. I'm basically a Fender man, my Ricky 620 was bought last week on a sudden impulse, it plays and sounds great.

Great admiration for you fellas that play any instrument!

I hope you get to the standard you want - I love music, but could never actually make any. :(
