  • sounds like the animal thing that makes that noise on outback steakhouse commericals

  • paracord is the best thing for these, strong, thick, and most importantly is brown, an extremely important aspect of a bass is brown string

  • could u use weed eater string?

  • that's so lame, but it's pretty fucking cool

  • sweet

  • dude u crackin up was funny!

  • Looking at the bucket, you did a great job.. It just doesn't sound as good as it looks..Maybe ther string. Betcha if you have been playing it since 2007 it sounds a whole lot different... Again I play the gutbucket and it can do justice as a poor man's bass. At least according to my less- then- the gold -standard ears

  • OK, I have been watching it more... Phil is putting us on.... Still, the gutbucket in the right hands is awesome.. Ok phil show us...

    g

  • Phil,,, yu gotta find the sweet spot,, give us more to find out if it is awesome or awful... not quite sure with this 1:12.. still it is all about making music??
