Aupa chavaleria! These last weeks I has done the redneck , more than usual. I have not discovered anything new, but if you've taken out.
is the Washtub Bass , under typical home we see in the deep south porches U.S. something so simple is hard to believe that works.
In my case, it is a very primitive prototype but with many opportunities for improvement. It's just a bowl of Chinese, a mop stick Chinese and a nylon rope, all for less than € 2 , thanks to this custom in the Chinese fortunes b labeling prices ( that Fuck them all cost jiji four dollars). The basin is placed face down on floor in the center of the base is a small hole through which pass the nylon rope. There is a knot in the rope that is within the hub and the other end is attached to the hole that has the mop stick, the other end. now, its operation is simple, with one foot on the tub, stretch your neck to tighten the rope and move from here pall as the sound you want to achieve. It is preferable if the basin is slightly elevated by a gap, ie the sound is not completely covered by soil, it comes out a little corner. The position is more or less this:
Everything can be improved, but a lot. A metal bowl could give a more consistent sound. Another wooden mast to fix the first one would be nice, would be more comfortable fit. And if you put a string of better quality, or even a bass, the sound and can improve a lot.
The history of these instruments goes back to the Jug Bands , blues bands root - country - raggtime where usually all the instruments are homemade, from the already named washtub bass, to the classic jug and even through the banjo (of course home).
In stupidity on Youtube we can find a model in a thousand ways. Not only with tubs if not crates, drums drums, cans of detergent. Some are very simple and primitive and could hardly be used more than for a group of c ountry in which the bass lines are very simple. Others are actually worked and have nothing to envy to a bass in a position such as this one:
And to amplify your instrument for four guys refuse to look at this video, it is shame!
