Yes, many bridges on my basses have been moved but usually not after being made. Just in the sense of the position. The soundpost is fitted or made after the bridge position is determined and set. It's all about timing here. As far as playability, yes, it has to be playable. The notches in the FFs are a guideline, not a religion.
