I remember a discussion abut the dreadfully short tail length.<br>
<br>
You will see that (photo attached) there is about 1/2 inch from the
rear <br>
bridge pin to the start of the winding twist of the bass string. Not
much <br>
flexibility in that set up.<br>

My understanding is that as long as its wagging its not a big problem :)<br>

It's easy to see that even if the bass string is trying to move the
bridge <br>
up and down, the plate is trying to hold it still.<br>

no matter how you stake it... yes ? Poor puppy is going to be choked
no matter how waggly his tail is.<br>
