Washtub Bass-jo construction run down

Overview of the construction of my junky double bass. How it goes together. I've built a few uprights but this one has the best volume.

I had this exact idea for a few years, banjo bass with a washtub resonator, glad to see it can be done !

[@aidkil]

Great work. It sounds right on! 🪕

[@mattnobrega6621]

Good ol' country ingenuity 😏👍🫡🇺🇸

[@BanjoBasement]

Fab. I've gotta make me one! Great music at the end too. Really entertaining - who needs a television?! 👍

Far freaking out sweet sound

[@MarsG0Dofw4r_]

Play it! Please do another video playing this rad bass!

[@steveh2o]

Thanks! I'm not much of a bass player but if you check out my channel or the link in the description for the blog entry there is video of myself and others playing it.

That's a clean bass ;)

[@steveh2o]

Thanks!

Thanks for doing this and going into detail of the measurements. I just picked up an interesting tub I wanted to do an upright bass with. What is the angle of the fingerboards? I built a fence post electric upright bass just before the pandemic and haven't been able to get the angle right on it.

[@steveh2o]

Welcome. I'll have to check the angle tonight, but I just maxed out what I could do with the width of the board. My best guess is around 7 degrees.

[@steveh2o]

I did some measuring and I think 7° is really close.

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

We didn't see you play it so we don't like your video.

[@steveh2o]

LoL. I'm not sure my playing is gonna run the like count up. Probably wouldn't have to scroll too far through my videos to find my inept playing.
