My Gibson Gold Top, severely modified by my good self
Ooooft nice, once I learn how to post pics on here I'll fire up mine!
I did dabble briefly with the bass guitar, even as far as to be in a band playing it whilst in another band playing the guitar. Was merely to help out a friend for rehearsals initially but turned into a few gigs played.

Never been in a band. Never really tried to be. Its a behind closed doors thing for me
This is the my first Eastman, only had it a few months but it was a very worthwhile purchase.
The 2nd Eastman will hopefully be with me by end of the week
Not been in a band for many years, would imagine since 2002ish time period. The old cliche of musical differences!
Was a great time however, rehearsals were probably more enjoyable than the actual gigs but I regret not being in other band(s) after the end of my last one.
You play to any great level? Write your own stuff?
Me and Mason were in a band. He were sh!t. I think I ended up sacking him.
True story
what sort of banjo 5 string or tenor ? What sort of music and style of playing clawhammer /frailing would be an open back 5 string ,bluegrass style 5 string resonator Scottish/Irish trad 17 fret (Irish)short scale tenor
You can spend an absolute fortune on a banjo with a tone ring itself costing more than a decent guitar.
Have a look at https://www.andybanjo.com/
Deering Goodtime do some really decent entry models and beyond as do Goldtone, probably best to try a more entry level until you see if you are serious . You can then upgrade but keep first as your go to practice one. Eagle music of Huddersfield are worth looking at online
Alternatively you can get a 6 string "banjo" guitar but that not really the same learning the banjer
