This is a strange new musical instrument based on the washtub bass. So far, the only widely recognized musician to play the whamola is Les Claypool. Here he is playing his song "Whamola", on his whamola (which is named Steve).

Another interesting fact about the whamola is that the pitch can be controlled either by moving your hand up and down the fingerboard (like any other stringed instrument) or by pulling the lever at the top. Also, PRIMUS SUCKS!

Shadowkat, Primus Sucks is what fans shout at their concerts. And I agree that Les is a genius. In my opinion, he is possibly the most talented bass player alive today.

Matt - I do feel a duffer now I was just so horrified at the thought of anyone doubting Claypool's awesomeness.
