Neck set - bridge height question

[Ken Smith]

Are you putting bridge adjusters in the bass? If so, take that measurement in consideration or you will have to re-cut the top of the bridge after the adjusters are in a second time. Measure twice, cut once.. Then again.. measure 10x.. twice may not be enough..

Are you really using that bridge in the picture with the funny looking foot joint?

Thats just an old bridge I am using for set up. I like the swivel action!

I am in the process of cutting the neck angle and fitting the neck into to the mortise. The finger board in the photo is being held in place with a mock neck. This is to help me figure out all the critical dimensions like over stand, neck angle and bridge ht. Believe me, I'll be measuring more than twice.
