"I'm not going to play like a pig." That's going to be my new motto!! :) I'm working on it though...I still get a lot of barnyard sounds.

Good points. If your adjusters are hard to turn you should go see your luthier. I always check these for my customers. Also the bridge should be 90 degrees to the tailpiece side of the bridge, the side facing the nut is carved.

I play rockabilly/honky tonk, and I’m still struggling with finding the perfect string height/bridge adjustment for my style of playing. The only thing I know to do is keep trying until I find the best setting. I’m about two years into this journey.

Great vid, thanks so much!

Thank you for this video - could you possibly measure the gap between each string and fingerboard in the middle of the fingerboard (octave position). For your orchestra setup. That would be really helpful. I started to learn double bass and still have a feeling like the strings are too high and I have to work too heavily with my left hand.

Great!!! Thank you, tomorow i' ll rehearsal the Requeim from Mozart, what about you?..cheers!🤗🤗

What do you have against Jazz? Jazz ...One of America's inventions!

If you are starting to make adjustments should you bottom out, mark the the halfs, and then adjust up?  Also, I only play pizzicato.

I use a Fishman pick-up on my Chinese laminate starter job double bass. I bought it cheap when I added upright to my electric bass playing bag of tricks about five years ago. Time to trade up. Think I'm going to spring for a fully carved one, if I can find one for sale at the ISB conference this summer, without having to take out a second mortgage on my home. Any suggestions or better yet, an upload about what to look for in the next level of instrument primarily for jazz pizz and trio playing, would be greatly appreciated!

The transponder for the 101is in the right leveling wheel. I don't screw around with it much because the wheel position can indeed affect the amplified sound. But I do have to adjust it for changes in the weather, or the fingerboard will cause the strings to buzz like a swarm of African Murder Hornets! 🐝🐝🐝🐝

Tell me about some CC. From 06:39, there is
"This is about the most boring I'm going to use and it's not going on the G string.
And in a good setup, generally, if it's not boring on the G-string,
it's not going to be on the other strings as well."
But for me it hears different "bowing" not "boring" or "going". I'm a foreigner and uses CC to understand your story exactly.

When I try to turn the wheel in my adjusters the foot of the bridge starts turning with the wheel. Any ideas?
