I need to replace some internal lining. I'm pretty sure I've found it online before, but can't find it now.
Can someone suggest a source for lining?

Howard Core and Co ltd is a good source and they have an online catalog. If you don't see any under "bass" wood you can use their cello lining material.

If you can salvage one you will have enough old dry spruce for at least 50 linings. I recycle piano sound boards for linings, cleats, soundpost patches, and even cross bars. Have fun.

Pianos are often given away on local Kijiji or Craiglists.
"Thank you, Madam, I will just rip out the soundboard. You can keep the rest..."  |

This bass is like the other thread about a German/Bohemian/? bass being worth fixing or not. Should I bother with repair?
Not as bad or a starting point, but could end up as a dog at the end. What I hope happens is that it stays together, and sounds surprisingly great.
Hard to explain; I care about the project, but also can't afford to care too too much.
Happy Holidays All

As long as it works well and bends well, and you glue and clamp properly, it will probably hold well. |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
