bass string space problem

[Newton Hunt]

Hi, Gordon,
      Two years ago I attended a class on just this subject.  I do not
remember the instructors name but his procedure was quite simple and easy.
      He drilled out alternate holes at the determined original angle.
These holes were plugged.  The other holes were drilled and plugged.
Plaining and  chiseling smoother the block.  Plate installed, bushings
replaced and new holes drilled.
      This procedure should serve you well.
      If you need it, I may be able to locate the handout.  I do not know
where I should start or what I may find on such a search, but I will venture
forth with sword, shield, grieves, armor, et al, if you insist.
