take the broken string and strangle yer bass-man with it - then claim that he was responsible (bass players are responsible for everything anyways *LOL*).]

Bring it punk.

Seriously though, by lowering your bridge until it rests against the body, you make it impossible for the bridge to move back when a string breaks. You loose the ability to pull up, but when an if a string breaks you can stay in tune to finish out the song or the set, whichever you have to do to swap guitars or replace the string. This is how SRV set up his strats as well as how I have mine set.
