  • Very well done Tony. That is one sweet washtub bass.

  • Blind Kiwi-  The scale length is 41 inches.  That's what the double bass my son used at school was, so we took measurements from it.

  • Outstanding!

  • Thanks for your encouragement.  I made this for my son so he can join me with my banjo.  I was messing around with the bridge placement and broke the G string, so it will be a week or so before I can put a video up.  It really surprised me, though when we first played it.  It has a really deep, loud sound, maybe because it has a sound post like the real ones.

  • This puts a new spin on "washtub bass"! This looks amazing! How does it sound? Please post a video!!!
  • Man, you did a really great job on that. I love it.
