Fw:New Bearing gauges that don't lie

[Erwinspiano at aol.com]

Hi Jack
  It looks kinda familiar.  I also made one like this for the  bass.  I 
embedded a flat headed screw in  the small foot end.  I  set the gauge on the bass 
string with the small foot protruding over the plain  wire in front of the 
front bridge pin.  Then turn the screw down till it  touches plain wire.  Now it 
cam be used as usual to determine positive or  negative bearing.  If positive 
it will tap.  If negative a gap should  be visible under the long front foot 
near the pin

Hi Dale,
 
Here is my gauge. I use it as a visual for  customers or salesman to explain 
down bearing. I also use it for a reading of  fluctuation due to humidity 
changes.
