Talk about your instrument/gear!!! (blues, drum, bass, funk)

Is that a banjolin? Those are a lot of fun to play. My friend had an antique one from the 1920s and it worked fantastically as a slide (action was ridiculously high so that was the only option bar playing open strings or very high up frets) and percussive instrument. Also, I've never had a bad Gretsch experience, so I'm sure that yours will be just as great!

It's a banjo-ukulele, although I would like to get a banjolin at some point.

I've become a very big Gretsch fan this year, my banjo is a Gretsch Broadcaster and my mandolin is a Gretsch New Yorker, all of which sound pretty good and were very reasonably priced.
