In this video we meet Leedsbased luthier, Neal Heppleston to discuss the perfect double bass setup. He takes us through three essential elements of double bass setup to help you learn how to optimise your instrument. We look at bridge positioning, soundpost positioning and string height with detailed demonstration, using my bass as a model. If you are looking to learn more about bass setup, or are interested in the process of double bass making, this video is a mustwatch!
