Setup is key to making each bass play easily and sound its best. After professionally setting up hundreds of basses, Lemur Music's methods and tools have been developed and refined to produce a result that’s second to none. Every instrument is customized to best meet the requirements of each musician. Here is what we do to set up a new bass:
|
The fingerboard is reshaped for easy bowing and no buzzes.
The camber is adjusted according to the type of strings and play.
The ebony is then polished to a scratch-free shine.
The nut is fitted to the neck and the strings, then refined and polished for lowest action and best appearance.
A new European bridge is fitted. Our painstaking work ensures that the feet fit the top without spaces, the bridge is crowned and thinned according to the musician's needs, height adjusters are professionally installed if desired, and the bridge is smoothed and rounded to become a work of art worthy of a violin family instrument.
A top-quality sound post is fitted inside the instrument so that it just kisses the top and back without careless gaps, and positioned to best balance the timbre of each bass.
The tailpiece is affixed to the bass with a flexible, stranded, stainless steel cable that won't break and allows the tailpiece to fully participate in the production of tone.
