Setting up a new bass

Sometimes at the Acoustic-Corner, when the UPS freight truck pulls up, repair work is put on hold.

Here she is, fresh out of the box, a brand new Shen 80 3/4 upright bass. 

After about 6 hours of work fitting the bridge, reaming the end-block, setting the soundpost, and finally carving the bridge...we have another bass ready to go!
