Joey Naeger recently wrote an article for Bass World titled Fingerboard Geometry. Optimal fingerboard set-up is a major topic of interest for all bass players, and I reached out to Joey to chat for the podcast.
We dig into:
- scoop
- why fingerboard buzzes occur
- what bass makers can do to help
…and much more!
Look for Joey at ISB 2017, and check out his article for diagrams and further reading on the topic of fingerboard geometry.
