"Cornerless Italian & Spanish Basses"

[Ken McKay]

Linen linings in place on my cornerless bass.

Actually Martin, I did try some cross strips at first but took them out because I didn't like the feel. I think they made the sides too stiff. I had the ribs without mold and I could bonk them to assess their stiffness.

Just like Arnold, who advised me, I would advise you to forgo the wood and go with linen if anything.
