Our new washtub bass is in the traditional hillbilly design, engineered for maximum sound and pitch range.

This is the real old fashioned jug band bass instrument.  The pitch is controlled by pulling on the hoe handle to change the string tension while your right foot rests on the edge of the tub to stabilize it.

It has a fat percussive thump, and offers many of other sound effect possibilities, including slapping or snapping the string, or using the handle or tub as a percussion instrument.

Audiences love it!  Comes with playing instruction and extra chord.
