I made this "wingless" bridge following some bassists' trend in Brighton,UK. It makes the sound brighter and gives a better arco response. This bridge has considerally improved the sound of the bass.
The top's wood is rather soft, since it is easy to make a dent with a fingernail.
I am in the middle of a serious engineering project so i haven't much time to take the top out. When i'll do it, i'll try to estimate the stiffness of the top plate using my knowledge from violins lutherie. I'll keep you informed. Thanks for all your input.
