Hey Charmin and Steven! Fritz Richmond was a great washtub bass player that helped popularize the instrument in the 60's with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band and he played on recordings with the Grateful Dead, Jackson Browne and others. Fritz eventually landed in Portland and played around town with lots of local folkies. I saw him play a few times at the Laurelhurst Tavern. He sure knew how to get the intonation right on that thing! ha,ha It's very hard to do.

From what I've been hearing on the sites that have demo's it is in fact VERY hard to get a decent tone, or semi-accurate intonation out've that type instrument.  Many sound like percussion instruments that roughly hit the tone.
