I bought new a Fender FB54 5-string for about $300. It's a very high quality instrument for the price. If you can find one used, I'd recommend it.

There's a place on capel street on the oposite side to that DJ store... could be Goodwins. I remember seeing some 4 and 5 string banjo's in there for great prices tho' that was a good while back.
