This is a washtub bass I recently made because I needed the sound of an acoustic bass for a project I was working on in my studio.

  • Hi Howard, actually I'm not and your the second person to pick up on that. The video was done on my Imac and either that or some process here on this site seems to have flipped the video.

  • The bass bar on the Havlena bass is flat on one side, and tapered on the other. Did you install the flat side of the bass bar against the soundboard, or the tapered edge against the soundboard? The former approach leaves a flat soundboard; the other way would result in a bowed soundboard (bowed outward from the washtub). The Havlena plans are a bit vague on this point...Any thoughts? Thanks.

  • This is beautiful stuff!!

  • John...that Bass is a trip! You really need to install a pick up and plug in!

  • Hey John,

    Wow! What a surprise! You're a lefty!!

    Great sound out of that thing, but the case is going to cost a fortune:-)

    Regards,

    Howard Emerson
