Ron, thanks very much for those suggestions. A couple of the things you mention had occurred to me, but by no means all of the things you suggest checking. Great. Fenton, I've encountered detached bass bridges a couple of times. On both occasions there was a gap between bridge and apron, with the bridge just hanging there on the strings, suspended as it were in mid-air. So I judged it best to cut a shim from very thin plywood and glue it to the (cleaned) bridge. Otherwise, to just glue the bridge back would have resulted, I suppose, in negative downbearing - upbearing, if you will! Both times were very successful. Best regards, David.
