This is the final part of our series of videos with bass maker and luthier Elinore Morris. After learning about her process of creating a commissioned bass, and her tips for string height and fingerboard set up in other interviews, we are now hearing her advice on one of the most common problems faced by bass players - buzzes! Elinore and I talk through the bass from bottom to top, identifying the areas most likely to cause a buzz or rattle and how you can diagnose it. It's an essential video for any bass player to make a list of places to check for buzzes.
