You are only raising the bridge so that you can put on vertical hitches. Since the string will ride higher at the hitch, the increase in bridge height will not have any effect on the bearing except now you will be able to adjust it however you want.

But raising the bridge also changes the string bearing angle on the speaking side of the string... yes ?? Could someone please explain why that evidently is of no consequence here ? Cheers RicB ...... Building the bass bridge a few millimeters taller and putting in vertical (horizontal) hitches would likely help too. The hitch change would give you the best flexibility, and some prospecting room setting string bearing.
