Barnes & Mullins BJ400E Rathbone 5-String Banjo - Electro

If you want to amplify or add effects to your banjo, the Rathbone Electro is for you.

The Barnes & Mullins 'Rathbone' banjo is a handsome 5-string named after Rathbone Place, London: the home of Messrs Barnes and Mullins in the early 1900s.

This BJ400E Rathbone banjo is an electro-acoustic model featuring a humbucker pickup, 1/4" jack output and volume control and is therefore a great choice for when you want to amplify your banjo for recording or as part of a larger band.

The mahogany neck, resonator and rim are complemented by a striking black Remo WeatherKing head, combining a stylish modern aesthetic with a traditional warmth of tone and a smooth playing response.

The Rathbone banjo is completed by chrome hardware and fittings, an ovangkol fingerboard, traditional planetary style machineheads, a pre-fitted pickup with jack output and volume control, and the historic 'Barnes & Mullins, London W' inlaid logo.

Just imagine what you could do with an amplified banjo...
