<BR> I must say I have found this thread more than a little tedious. Has any of you ever occasioned upon a bass bridge impinged severely on one end or the other against the plate. If you have then this should settle some of this debate. The tone suffers seriously without bridge movement. End of discussion!!!!!!!
