Double Bass Bumpers, again..

[KSB - Ken Smith]

Ken, I too had read those bumper TB threads in the past and had agreed w/ you about only wanting to use hard wood or maybe leather in a pinch, but I have to admit that Jeff's neoprene really has worked out well and they can always be easily removed w/o any damage. No more schlepping a bass stand (unless I'm doubling on BG on a crowded stage) or a rubber mat to gigs. You may want to consider them for the Loveri, which I saw, BTW, with the top off in Jeff's shop. A beautiful bass.

Ok, the Loveri is done and I had Jeff put the Neoprene bumpers on. Did you know that neoprene is heavier in weight than even Ebony? I felt a sq.ft. of it and weighed a ton! Well, I have 3 sets on the G-side Rib to lay it down. I can feel the cushion that you mentioned. Nice idea.

By the way, Jeff did a fantastic on the restoration. The Bass sounds better than before, plays easier and smoother and looks much better as well.
