Double Bass Restoration – Neck Removal Removing the neck on this bass was tricky — the neck heel was glued with the same hard, chemical glue we found on the top plate.

This 50-year-old, factory-made double bass arrived in our workshop with serious structural issues. As shown in recent stories, the top plate is severely cracked and damaged, the neck is a full measure too high and needs replacement, and the bridge is curved—also requiring replacement. The biggest challenge so far? Removing the top plate. A previous restorer used an extremely hard, chemical glue that nearly burned the wood, making safe removal nearly impossible. With patience, a razor-sharp knife
