As a bass player, I've always been curious to hear a banjo tuned like guitar.

I might bid on this hoping that the mojo won't work.

I'm a bass player too....and I suppose you can tune a banjo anyway you want.

...yah just can't tune a fish.

Who knows, with modern science advancing as it is, perhaps one day man will overcome this limitation.

Actually, tuning a banjo like the last 4 strings of a guitar is frequently done by guitar players lookin' for a gig as a banjo player....kinda like a ukulele. But what it does is change the note sequences (inversions) in the chords and IMO, it sounds like crap.

And then, there are some players who never learned how to tune the instrument correctly.

In a decade or two, it won't matter, most of us who really can play, and those who listen to such, will be long gone to that trad jazz heaven? in the sky.

Besides which that banjo in the picture is a 5-wire...not my flavor.

I noticed that. I'd rather a 5-string as well.
