This is HMT Chris. Make a washtub bass. Find washbin, broom handle and a piece of rope. You'd be surprised that it can actually sound pretty damn good and cool.
Electric style

Re: Any you guys play stand up bass?
i have always wanted to try a stand-up bass. i have a fretless bass and when i play on a regular basis, i can play that so i would assume the stand-up is sorta similar. me and the woman bought a cello, i thought it would be easier than it is, but its pretty tough

Im willing too learn. Music for me I know is something I will continue to play/enjoy to the fullest till the day I die so if it takes me till Im an old man to get down on it Im cool with that.

I'd say go to your local school and see if they're selling any of their old ones.

Any brands that are affordable and quality? What is a good price for an entry level unit?
