 How to tell if it's delaminating, I don't know.

Dave,

It's very difficult to tell if there are laminations by looking at the hole.  
My judgement is that I am looking at a solid core faced with a veneer on both 
sides, and that the veneer is lifting somewhere near the nose bolt in the 
bass.  I've checked and checked the bridges for rubbing against the plate, 
and there seems to be clearance everywhere.

Thanks for the reply
