The Bucket Bass is a simple, homemade musical instrument that is a twist on the original. Smaller in scale, it is a perfect introductory instrument for a child or younger person.
In May 2024 after spending a week attending a workshop with Victor Wooten, Pierce McVeigh made a unique Washtub Bass for Victor Wooten.
After building the bass Pierce had graffiti artist Kiba Freeman design and paint a unique personalized tribute to Victor on the tub featuring items of interest and concern to Victor’s vision of music and the planet we live on.
