Double Bass rib depth and wrist pain

I want to revive this post to tell all those interested in my story, I thank in advance all those who took the time to respond, finally, the angle formed by the bridge with the strings (which gives them tension) was too pronounced, so I had to send it to another more qualified luthier to take it off and put it back on, and also change the fingerboard, that took about a year, but since then I have the double bass with the good configuration and with the strings that I like! Along the way I learned a lot, although it was tortuous, now I am very happy to have the Romanian sounding great and with gut strings! I have been a gut user for over a year now (I think) and I am very happy, so I am grateful again. As I told you before, in Chile there is very little information and trained luthiers (but many good bass players), so in the end the story ended well. I am attaching photos of my beloved, I owe you the video, I will upload it soon! Greetings from Chile.
