<DIV>Hi Clyde -</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree with Wim. I can't remember ever having much difficulty
removing a bass bridge when it had already separated that much. Take =
a
couple stiff putty knives to tap into the crevice. Will likely pop =
right
off.</DIV>

<BR>You

loose anyway. It might be held in place by the tension of the strings. Or=
at
most, if it isn't loose, it might come off if you pull on it a little.
