Creaking bass.
I have a fully carved Christopher 502 that is strung with Bel Canti.
It plays really well and I love it. The problem I have is that it creaks - much like I imagine a sailing ship would. The creak seems to come when the bass is upright and pressure is applied to the L bit below the neck, or the back of the body. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I plan on doing some recording shortly and fear that it will sound like my bass has maritime rigging.
