Double Bass Bridge Setup/Shaping Instruction

If you're talking about scribing the curvature of the top onto the bridge feet, here's a really simple, nearly free jig you can use. Put some felt on the bottom so you don't scratch the varnish.

Ive always used an old leather belt to lay against the belly then scribe a pencil mark along the feet (same effect, different approach)

This is nice!
