Hi all. I have just set up a group called 'RB1 Owners'. Was looking to see how many other RB1 and RB1 Re-issue owners there are out there in hangout land. Come and join us and let any other RB1 owners you know about the group

RB1....You're in...how could you not be with that exclusive title

Richard & George. Nice to know there are a few more RB1's out there. Come on over and join the group

Richard. That's an unusual serial number for a re-issue, most are of the 1-9301-01 format. If you contact Doug Hutchens here on the hangout he may well have more information on your instrument

Regards Graeme

I have a banjo that started as a 20's TB-1 I believe. Someone put an RB 1 neck on it along with a pyramid tone ring. As one would expect, it's a monster of a banjo. It is one of my all time favorites.

Leslie, Danny and Tim. Come on over and join the group. The more RB1's the better
