String Height and Fingerboard Set Up with Elinore Morris

optimum double bass fingerboard set up with luthier elinore morris

This week, we are sharing the second of three videos that we filmed in Gothenburg, Sweden with the fantastic bass maker and luthier, Elinore Morris. This time, Elinore talks about bass set up, focusing on string height and the fingerboard. We discuss fingerboard curvature, Romberg bevels, classical vs jazz fingerboards, string height at the nut and much more. If you're interested in how to optimise your double bass set up and know what to ask your luthier for, this video is for you.
