[CAUT] 1098 slight redesign

[Bob Hull]

Hi Ron,

Could you elaborate just a bit for me on the vertical
(horizontal) hitches? 
"Building the bass bridge a few millimeters taller and
putting in vertical (horizontal) hitches would likely
help too. "  
Does this mean cutting/grinding off the normal slanted
hitch; drilling a hole and welding in a 90 degree
hitch pin?  Akin to the accujust type?  
The taller bridge is for increased downbearing
possibilities in the bass, or more mass/impedance?

Thanks,
Bob Hull
