bridge
A cheap fix is to lossen the top from the neck block and along the ribs all the way down to just past the top corner blocks. Pull the bass neck forward and try to get about 150mm height projected to the bridge, or inside f hold nicks. Reglue it. Put a piece of spruce in the gap betweent the top and the neck.
Bridges are also sold with different width feet to better fit in relation to soundpost and bass bar.
Finally, you might consider a smaller bridge e.g. a one half size.
None of this is what you'd do to a really good bass, but it can make the bass playable for a lot less money.
