bass know-nothing-at-all question

[Brandon Tuomikoski]

so what purpose do they serve?

[Greg Clinkingbeard]

Mr. Schitzer has said that they serve no purpose at all; that they are, in fact, detrimental to the sound of the bass. Since all basses, I believe, have internal linings I can see no benefit to the added linings.

thanks! I was always curious. I thought they needed to be on plys to keep it together or something.

Guess not. Thanks
