A vintage Volvo hubcap combined with a stainless steel rod makes this all metal Diddley-Bow!! Parts from a vintage Volvo car PV 544 and other old stuff from the personal scrap-heap, haha!Piezo pickup under the hubcap.. Long scale.And it is really heavy.. ;-)http://www.bottleneckjohn.com/...

Yes Keith, the low sound works better for accompaniment I think.

That thing is also deep sounding, like a bass.

Thanks ! Been playing it a lot today, slowly getting used to the long scale. It'll be a great instrument on stage too!

Sounds low and good. Got that human voice thing I love to hear. No Swedish accent at all!
