The idea starts whit an idea, I do not make any drawing or so. I solve the most problems in my head first and start collecting the mean stuff. I have seen the "standard" washtub basses. But they are all one string, on a broomstick instruments. The stick is manted on the tub and the tone is...

Indeed 12 bar I used the slotted headstock for lapsteels and so. 1e the tuners are cheep and extreme strong because they are locked on two points.
