hi, I'm a luthier here in Alabama though I mostly work on acoustic fretted instruments....
I'm repairing some back cracks on my carved 3/4 bass and the back center seem has become unglued/seperated. the bass back is now in two separate pieces (the back is off of the bass btw)
i need to join the 2 back halves together...what are my options for this?
i've seen folks use the PVC pipe rings with glued blocks - method, as well as specially clamps, etc.
I had considered placing it on my bench between blocks/fixtures with tapping wedges for inward pressure and weights on the top of the arch for downward pressure/to keep it from lifting...
