Jose Antonio AC74CB
Second Contrabass bridge reglue
Looks secure, but it came loose anyway
Bolts inside
Lifted bridge
The top is slight deformed, no thanks to the screws.
Not the first reglue, but my first bridge removal.
How - with a 200W bulb!
Had to heat the top a little and clamp with acrylic overnight to flatten before bridge comes on it.
Before gluing, I had filled the screw holes with epoxy.
By the way, bought the 7" soundhole clamp from Stewmac just to glue the contrabass bridges!
