i was thinking of getting the new Traeger book, but then realized no one even commented on how good it was.
james, robert, and anybody who has read the Coda: what does this book offer that the first one did not have?
thanks, bill |

| | proprietor, Condino's String Shop | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asheville, nc | | | Chuck's new book has more useful information but I wouldn't look at it like it is going to be as ground breaking as the first book. The first seemed to set a whole new standard for a lot of folks and is loaded with information; the CODA is more like a supplement to that, or some lost chapeters that were edited out. It is much smaller and the information continues off that presented in the first book. Ideally the two will be morphed together in a future printing.
Either way as aspiring bass repair students, the information available in print is limited and this is a welcome addition from someone wo has spent a lifetime in the field; Chuck rocks!

The Stroebel web site says almost nothing as to the contents of this book, aside from that it's "more."
Could an owner please post a table of contents or something?
Thanks. |

Here's the deal:
Do you have Chuck' first book on setup and repair? If not, THAT is the one you should focus on. If you already have it, then the basic idea is that the new one is more of the same ideas and concepts expanded upon with ideas that didn't make it into the first book or were edited out. If you alread have#1 and are still interested in getting more insight from someone who spent a lifetime playing and working on basses, get it. I spent more on a single string for my bass (love that Olive G!), than the price of both these books. If nothing else, get it, read it, and then put it up on Epay and you'll get most or all of your cost back- I do that all of the time.

j. | Yeah, I get it. I already have book 1 and it's cool for some things but not others. No question it was money well spent, but I don't really want more of everything that was in it.
For example, I could have used more on finish touchup or fingerboard relief, but I really don't think I'll be doing any mode matching in the near future.
Maybe I'm spoiled by Amazon, but is it too much to ask what's IN a book before I lay down the cash for it? My issue's not with Traeger, but with the Stroebel web site. |

Just found this: http://www.doublebassguide.com/?s=traeger "Chuck Treager, bass luthier and author, has published a new book: Coda to “Setup and Repair of the Double bass” – New Sound Setup Discoveries & Repair Tips.
With it’s 64 pages, Coda is a much thinner book than Traeger’s first volume, but also filled to bursting with Double Bass know-how, too. Many chapters reference to the first volume, but feature many new ideas and observations. In some issues, Traeger even correct himself or specify particular details. Being written as a sequel, Coda can also be read without knowing the first volume – for inspiratition and fresh ideas for double bassrepairs and sound optimization.
Contents:
The endpin – mightier than the sound post
How to make the bass louder and responsive
Simplifying mode matching
making a bass brighter or darker
more about sound posts
and many more …."
See, now THAT's helpful! Knowing this, I'll order a copy. |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
