Bass Bar
Bass bar placement is not easy. Careful study of the instrument is needed.
We actually start outside the instrument by carefully deciding what size bridge
is best suited for the model. Once the bridge width is decided on, we
carefully begin the layout process, often times trying to find a compromise
between mathematical placement and model nuances.
Chalk fitting ensures a perfect fit with no buzzes and maximum
tone. Once fit, it is glued and clamped in place. Finally we are
able to profile the bar and carve it's proper shape, a nice gothic arch at the
highest point that gracefully blends to a half round.
A new bar can breath fresh air into an older instrument and
correct problems from ill conceived ones.
