A little more perspective, if I may.

Even in the treble, with, say, a 200mm top rib and a tight 4M 
crown, you're likely not getting the effect you expect. With a 
center crown height of 1.25mm, you'll be centering the bridge 
at roughly 35-40mm in from the belly. At that position on the 
rib, the crown height is 0.72-0.80mm.
