THE TIME HAS COME to choose a name for the big Bass. Because the idea came from my days of playing the gut bucket around the beach fire I began to call it "Son of Gut Bucket", then Pat Madsen called it "Son of a Gut Bucket" my wife calls it the "Big Bassoon" but this weekend on San Juan Island, Kirk in the music store asked me what to call it. I asked him to nominate a name.
His contribution was "DOBLE" the Spanish word for double. I kind of like it, two strings/Doble, pronounced "dough bley" not too bad. I think I will call it "El Doble" or in Spanish "The Double"
So here it is
