Hi Tommy, nicely done. To my almost 80 year old ear I kinda like the Vegas tone. I carefully shopped for a very good Huber to achieve that prewar Gibson sound. As it turned out a number of professional banjo players have played it and have given it “ that’s a good one blessing” Anyway, thanks for the comparison video

Hi, thanks for sharing the comparison Tommy. I think it's good to have both a mahogany and a maple flat head, maybe another few like open backs etc. I have the RB250 from the Greig Rich era which has the groove and feel that suits me, it's the one I just want to play the most. Also an early Stelling Red Fox. The Fox has a different sound/feel altogether with a slightly wider neck, not dissimilar to your Vega. From England.
