Diddley-Bow - Vintage Hubcap Style..!

A vintage Volvo hubcap combined with a stainless steel rod makes this all metal Diddley-Bow!! Parts from a vintage Volvo car PV 544 and other old stuff from the personal scrap-heap, haha!
Piezo pickup under the hubcap.. Long scale.
And it is really heavy.. ;-)

Yes Keith, the low sound works better for accompaniment I think.

That thing is also deep sounding, like a bass.

Wicked cool!

Thanks ! Been playing it a lot today, slowly getting used to the long scale. It'll be a great instrument on stage too!

Sounds low and good.  Got that human voice thing I love to hear.  No Swedish accent at all!
