i don´t know how long they have to stay there, so i would try it with something else from the same material first. |

I like your set up for the center strip. I am about to do the same thing with another bass... let me know how it turns out. I am not thrilled with the first one I did. Best, Brian |

![]() They are a custom order from Michael Abarientos in the Phillipines. A variation on an existing model with larger handles to look more "french". All brass, though.

![]() I've rather enjoyed reading this thread on restoring an old French factory bass. Looks that Matthew has made it better than new.
Any final pictures of the restoration, and how does it sound? Did you set it up for orchestra or jazz? Tried to post a picture of this finished bass from the Bresque Basses website, but the url requirement prevents me. Here's a link. https://www.bresquebasses.com.au/restoration Cheers from Canada Casey |
