My question is : Why do I have such high string tension compared to my double bass with the same strings? The fingerboard also seems to have the right arch to it.
What to do?
Thanks

Maybe no acoustic vibrating wood to absorb the string vibrations as on a Double Bass?

Less than optimum angles between the TP, bridge and FB relations?

Find a good DB Luthier that understands EUB's?

Personally, I don't play one so I can only give suggestions by guessing, sorry.
