Frequently Asked Questions

Schreiber basses generally have a reputation for good intonation, but it's still crucial to have it adjusted by a qualified technician to optimize for individual playing style.
The plating is a standard thickness for professional instruments, but diligent care and occasional cleaning will extend its life and maintain its luster.
Sycamore is slightly more sensitive to humidity fluctuations, so regular wiping and occasional oiling of the bore are recommended to prevent cracking – more so than with rosewood.
