Thank you for your comment. Yes, my dog Onyx is a regular ham whenever I take the camera out. He appears in many of my videos. Check out his great timing in the end of this video:

I've been taking my cue from banjo players, who have to adjust their bridge
as temperature and humidity change: except for the first build, all my
bridges (or saddles, in one case) can be moved. I test them by comparing
the 12th fret overtone to the same note fretted at the 12th fret. String
pressure then holds them in place pretty well.

Welcome aboard, Randy! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

Most of all, have fun!

BTW, I was vacationing in Blue Ridge this summer when I fell into this madness (built a CBB for my son, whose stand-up bass we'd left at home).


Tres.
