Subject: RE: Help: ok, a washtub bas IS easy to make, but.
In Jamaica, I saw a guy playing a type of bass I had never seen before. It was a big wooden box, on which he sat, and, it had a round hole in one side, with 4 or 5 strips of flat metal bars that he plucked with his fingers.It reminded me of the African thumb piano. It made a most unusual sound.
