Ron: I've heard some (David Hughes, for example) say that he aims for zero bearing on the bass bridge and very minimal at bottom of the tenor bridge and this seems to generate the best tone at that end. Any comments? Does the bearing on the back of bass bridge give you any concerns re compromising the glue joint on the cantilever? At what point (number of degrees) would you be concerned?
