Hi Ellwood and eK,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the posts, I'm heading to the home improvement store tomorrow. I did see a really cool shaped shovel handle the other day...<br />

<br />

<p>For some inspiration once you do get it built, check out the late Mark Sandman's 2-string <span style="text-decoration: underline;">slide</span> bass work with the band Morphine:…</p>
