Double Bass String Height Issue

[arbous65]

Hi there,

Luthier changed my problematic bridge and the new one is adjustable for height.
I like to set string height in the low side, ideally 6 to 10.
I brought down G to 6 or 6.5 mm where any point below that the buzz starts to show. The E side is brought down to about 10.5.
A is sitting at around 9 and D is sitting around 8.5.
I thought I bring it up to see if this arrangement is ok. i originally thought the bridge profile could be tweaked to bring down the D string height but the luthier says he followed the template to accommodate bowing regardless of the fingerboard curvature.
What do you think?
Should I leave it?
Or
Is it ok to adjust the bridge minimally to bring D down a bit without causing bowing issue?
Or does the fingerboard require some adjustment?

Thanks,
Arya

Hi Arya,
I‘ve got 6, 7,5, 8,5 and 9mm and it‘s easily possibel to work with the bow. Some luthiers use a Kind of „schablone“ to get the right curvature, but if you don‘t change the relative relation between the strings it‘s allright, as far I can see. I hope i can help.

lg, Ralf

Hi, string spacing is part of the equation when it's about bowability as well. I recently switched back to weich gauge E and normal measures with the heights instead of heavier E and flatter curve. 7,8,9,10mm's G - E with 28,5mm string spacing, and it's more difficult to avoid screetching and double stops on the D string than with earlier setup, or earlier bridge with similar 7-10 mm heights and strings, but with extra wide 30mm spacing I tried for super fat plain guts I used a while ago. String spacing has an effect for left hand ergonomics, generally more wide is less comfortable. Just My 2 cents about these factors regarding bowability.
