Soundposts and the like

[Ken Smith]

Some roundback basses have a semi-center cross bar under the soundpost. My Bollbach bass has one and I had an Italian bass with one as well.

"Held in place"??

Gareth are you saying the soundpost is FIXED to the disc? Usually the soundpost is just wedged in there lightly. The disc is not to stop the post from falling.

[Gareth Hughes]

I can't tell if the soundpost is glued in place, or if the disc has a hole in which the soundpost is inserted. Possibly the latter.

The body of this bass is only about three inches deep at best, so this measure is there as the bass is designed as a travel bass, with the strings/bridge being taken of regularly.

Thanks Ralph and Mike.

Good answers and explanations aplenty. Hadn't thought of checking out TB on this subject. The constant arguments over mundane opinions became a little too much
