Ya gotta love the "Gut Bucket" bass!
Played for 15 years with Preston Weber, a guy who built his entire act around a gut bucket. People would bring a crowd of up to 10 people and wait for several hours for their chance to sing and/or play the gut bucket. Some had special leather gloves and cases built for them. The real "purists" would bring their own "bucket"...refuse to play the one Preston had, with a clothes line for a string...that wasn't acceptable.
Hadn't seen one for years....thanks, I THINK LOL!
