The bass is a Panormo copy, 170 mm spacing between the upper f-hole eyes.

That's a little high, especially if the top arch is high. If so, you are putting the bow arm far from the player's body and inviting shoulder stress. I think 6 1/2" to 6 3/4" is good for a 7/8 bass, unless the c-bouts are really wide.
