OB-150 Plus with JLS Tone Ring
I came up with the idea to offer an OB-150 Plus Model with JLS Tone Ring to offer my customers more punch for not that much more dollars. Gold Tone has been offering the OB-250 Plus with JLS tonering for 20 years. JLS tone rings were developed by Jim Stuhl. Gold Tone bought the JLS tone ring company and now can offer them for a much better price. The difference in price between the OB 250 and 250 Plus used to be about 750.00. Now the JLS only adds 398.00 to the price and that includes the installation. Listen to it and see what you think.

K Todd Mar 8, 2023 | OB150+ I was ready for a new banjo and there aren't many places to try different ones. I trusted Ross to help me pick the right banjo. We spent some time talking about my playing goals and Ross suggested the Gold Tone OB150+. I just got the banjo and boy was he spot on!!!. The sound and action are fantastic. I love everything about the banjo we chose together. Thanks Ross!! |

Ron Apr 8, 2021 | simply beautiful! Got the banjo today….it’s simply beautiful! Man, what a difference from my 2006 Goodtime II (although I still have a soft-spot for it – it was a good first experience into the Banjo! I will keep you abreast of my progress. I hope someday…my playing skills will do the banjo the justice it deserves! I am very thankful for all your help, Ross! I will be in touch! All my best and thanks! Ron |

P Sarah Mar 10, 2021 | OB-150 w/JLS #12 Tone ring Received my new banjo about a week and a half ago so i've had time to play it a bit. After talking w/Ross I decided on this configuration and it does not disappoint. This banjo sounds fabulous with lots of sustain which is just what i was looking for. It arrived mostly in tune and ready to play. After some fine tuning due to shipping movement it has stayed in tune since. The intonation is also spot on. It is hard to put this banjo down. I couldn't be happier and the service couldn't have been better. Took 6 days from placing the order until i had it in my hands. The whole experience and the banjo are pretty much perfect. Thanks, Ross! (Can't help but smile when there's a banjo in your hands). |
