Cap't Bob	Washtub Bass: What kind of string & why? (153* d)	RE: Washtub Bass: What kind of string & why?	20 Dec 03
I built a modified washtub base a couple of years ago that is much easier to play than the traditional one using a broom handle. The one I built has a lever to control the tension on the string. The plans from Dennis Havlena's webpage: http://www.ehhs.cmich.edu/~dhavlena/bass.htm Another one you may be interested is somewhat like a traditional base. It has 4 strings and has a washtub as the resinator: http://www.ehhs.cmich.edu/~dhavlena/db.htm The string Dennis recommends is made of dacron. Seems to work quite well. Cap't Bob
