This way, the shoulders are never in the way and during the new graft job, you can pitch the neck as desired with the neck stand to get a higher bridge as well. This will help clear the bouts easier with the bow as well as produce more power in the sound. My Busetto was just about the best modern Pollmann I had heard. I am sorry that I sold it actually. maybe one day it will come back in trade.
Thanks for your reply.
I agree the Pollmann looks fantastic. Very special bass.
