BetaFunk Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) I love Jaco and the twiddly noodlings of Michael Manring, Stu Hamm and Victor Wooten etc but i think that i've finally seen the light. I know i'll never reach the dizzy heights of these great players so i decide that maybe i should set my sights slightly lower. I found this on the net and this is now the path i will follow. I already have a tea chest and have my Nan's old clothes prop but what string(s) should i use to get this sound?

keeponehandloose Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 if you have some old twine from the local hardware store that will do fine. tea chest bases are great fun, I even made a left handed one for buddy of mine . he just couldnt get the hang of my right handed one..

HowieBass Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I wonder when the "you do/you don't try to intonate a tea chest bass" flame war will start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaFunk Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Unfortunately my Tea Chest has blown away during the night. It was last seen heading towards the Surrey green belt. I knew it was a mistake leaving it in the garden after painting it with creosote last night. Fortunately i have another but this time i plan to fill it with concrete so it won't blow away but will this ruin the acoustics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 It will be better for rock if you do that. ... maybe you should just fill it with [u][b]actual [/b][/u]rock, then it will be perfect for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
