rib depth ?
I've measured this French bass up and have found the measurements to be the same as this old French bass featured on this site , with one exception the rib depth is only 20cm ! Seems pretty petite to me ??

Ok , I've measured it up for you just like the dimensions in the pic, minus plates of course .
Length = 114 cm lower bout width =65 cm upper bout width=51,5 cm c bout / corner to corner of bout ( i.e not from c bout to c bout , but each bout measured from top edge to bottom edge ) = 24,5 cm rib depth = 20 cm |

In inches converted by /2.54 and rounded; Length = 44 7/8" (this is body length?.. what is the String length?) lower bout width = 25 5/8" upper bout width= 20 1/4" c bout / corner to corner of bout ( i.e not from c bout to c bout , but each bout measured from top edge to bottom edge ) = 9 5/8" (block to block?) rib depth = 7 7/8" Before the metric system, Europe used inches too I think. Violins measure at 14" as standard. My old English bass/violin books use inches for body sizes of basses. Quote:
The basses of mine at 7 7/8" include the Hofner 5, Hart, Martini, Jacquet, Lombardi, Sirleto and Lott copy. I have a few that are 7 3/4" and one at 7 1/2" which was one of the loudest and deepest basses I ever had. Several are 8" and over but this 7 7/8" inches seems to be very common. |
