Anders Jormin talks to Elinore Morris about the making of his new double bass with removable neck. Built at Nääs Slöjdseminariet in Sweden, 2020. Video in Swedish with English subtitles. The bass was made to specific dimensions so that it feels like an existing bass but can still fit into a Chadwick flight case for travel. It has a spruce top, maple neck and back and sides of ash. OIl varnish.
