I play a bit of blues harmonica. I have struggled to understand much of the music theory I have come across, however your presentation strikes me as understandable. I will build one and study these presentations. This has renewed my hope of understanding theory and the underlying structure…through my ears in “real” time. You are a great teacher. Thank you.
Hi Giff We saw you at the Old Time Fiddlers this past week. I can't wait to start my own wash tub bass. Thanks for the effort you expended making these videos. All the best John F/ Utah
Glad to hear that. Thinking and listening like a bass player (and being able to sing your part) is essential for players of all types of bass instruments. But more than that, it's super helpful for all musicians (on all instruments) who want to play "by ear", that is, not written.
Hey there TheRocksCry - i've always looked in hardware stores. A number 3 size washtub that is round, not square is my preference. Go for it! .. GutBucketGiff

That means a lot to me, thanks. Gut Bucket Giff
Weiser Fiddle Fest and Stickerville - jammed all kinds of tunes on washtub bass for 12 days - My idea of heaven! - GBG
Hey Becky, thanks for the praise! And thanks for your support on Facebook! GBG
Awesome! This is great! Thanks for putting this together.
I look forward to seeing you at Stickerville each June....heaven on earth!
Sounds a VAST sight better than the Tea-chest variety lad.
I have a stainless steel tub now, and it has a great tone! What's next?

love this!!😊
Thanks! I enjoy turning people on to the washtub bass and its potential in music.
Check out the Two Bit Jug Band videos for examples of the washtub bass in action.
the little bit of whisker looks like you were eating and it spilled out of your mouth (just saying)
Yer just jealous!
It takes years to train that drool.
