Hello -- it looks like I'm about to replace the first upright bass bridge I've done in about 5 years. Contemplating the job has lead me to 2 questions: 1. Who would I like to send the old bridge to duplicate? (yes, it is solid not capped, and no I don't want to do a tracing even though I could) Feel free to forward your suggestions to me privately if you don't want to name names or name "nots" on the air. 2. Last time I did this I used a carpenter's glue, screwed it in, then let it sit overnight before loading the strings back on the next day. But hey, is there a quicker way? Does anyone mount bridges with CA glue, then load a few minutes later? Or am I dreaming? Quick set epoxee then load an hour later? (I see two screws mounting this bridge to the apron from the underside of the apron's lip, I hope to be employing them in the remounting if the removal process is kind to me) Audrey Karabinus, Seattle
