Thread Name: Washtub Bass: What kind of string & why?
Subject: RE: Washtub Bass: What kind of string & why?
It was mostly tea chests when I had a go too. Wash tubs were most common in the old photos but they were really hard to find. I found a string in an old music shop's sale bin once. It was an old catgut double bass string. I know it was probably cheating but it sounded great.
