    Double Bass Any good pernambuco bows on Aliexpress or elsewhere?

    Is the neck/heel reinforced (like Ham) or is this optional?

    can’t stop thinking about converting my bass neck to an adjustable, very reluctant to bridge adjusters. What’s the difference between the Ham, Radelet, Upton solutions? What is the purpose of the upper bolt Upton seems doing without?

    garrett, keep an eye (ear) on the soundpost, most new instruments will need a longer after 1-2 years. A too short will result in a dull, lifeless sound. There’s a lot of contempory basses out there (like pollmann) with an unfair reputation because people seem ignorant of this. I use an...

    what do you think about the smaller string spacing? Guess 26mm is “standard “, I had my at 24, your is 22. I kept 10mm at the nut, don’t like it to change too much along the board. I can really recommend a smaller spacing, makes life easier, and good for the sound also, according to Brock.
