Hi all, new guy here. I build a few instruments, got off into ubass, but this my first solid body. It's mesquite and Texas ebony. Working that stuff is fun, but that's another story. So my bridge now sits flush with the top of the body, no thumb wheels, so here's the question: Does there need to be space under the bridge (as if thumb wheels were holding it up) or flush good to go. I'm wondering if there is some piezo related reasons that you want the bridge more or less floating and unimpeded by the mass of the body. I see both (best I can tell) on searching the net for pics. Thanks, and I'll post up some of my other builds soon.
