Incredible!!! Built my first one today out of a 17 gallon, #3 tub. Looking forward to learning. I'm tired of this "new age" sound of music.....we need more washtubs!
I built a regular wash tub bass for my son for Christmas. I'm looking for how to build one like yours. Do you know where I can find plans / description?
@@Gutbucketeer Jim how are you? I am Juan from Argentina. Your interpretation is excellent and I would also like to make one of those basses. Could you also send me how to do it? my email is viamonte3889@hotmail.com thank you very much
Awesome instrument!

Thanks. No amplification here, but the bass still has your pickup in it :-).
What kind of string do use on this tub?? Sounds good! Considering my laptop speakers, quite "audible."
Richard Bogen. at the time, it was a bike derailleur cable. i have a upright bass g string. it needs to be one with a braided steel core.
these seem neat, can they accompany more than one string?
I have heard about 2 strings but have not seen it.
Great, Is it amped?
Nope. All acoustic in this vid.
Sounds horrible and inaudible

Gutbucketeer no, some people might not be able to hear the bass over the guitar since the bass is very low.
Actually, I just sampled a few Washtub Bass vids and this is one of the better ones, as recording quality goes.
