Fill out your PROFILE......What the hell is a Whamola???

[big_Claypool_fa]

thanks for the info!!!



the Whamola is a 1-string instrument
It’s a weird washtub bass-type instrument with a single D string on a stick, a pickup, a peg on the bottom like an upright bass, and a big handle that you pull to change pitch.

haha... you should throw a washtub at the bottom while your at it . Paul's signature should really say "fill out your profile" by now, so he doesn't have to waste energy proclaiming it to neophytes.

While it will ultimately make you a better player, all to often, emphasis on the classical can compromise short-term results.

Sweet, dudes.
