I've been taking my cue from banjo players, who have to adjust their bridge
as temperature and humidity change: except for the first build, all my
bridges (or saddles, in one case) can be moved. I test them by comparing
the 12th fret overtone to the same note fretted at the 12th fret. String
pressure then holds them in place pretty well.
Most of all, have fun!
BTW, I was vacationing in Blue Ridge this summer when I fell into this madness (built a CBB for my son, whose stand-up bass we'd left at home).
Tres.
