Sound-post on Czhek-ease

[Tim Underhill]

I asked the question because the bass I was working on had the sound-post about two inches away from the 'normal' position; and had obviously lived down there since day one. It was low and towards the center. Given the bottom of the bass is missing might direct vibration (as on a regular bass under the G leg of the bridge) be more important than any 'pumping' of the bass bar for sound production?
