May be u can see the bass bar grain better in this picture:



The bass bar grain is parallel to the top grain,

I have to shave the hump a little to do the edges, anyways it will be replace by a new bar.

I will tell you later how tick it is

If it was there already or an integral Bar, take it out. The new Bar needs to be at a slight angle. There is a formula for that but can't recall it also, most guys have their own way but not straight as for one, it wont do as good a job and two, straight with grain will promote cracks along the Bar.

Chuck have some instructions on how to position the BB (somewhat confusing instructions), I was thinking on placing the new one in the same position as the current one, of course unless this one is running 100% parallel to the top grain
