Well,,,, Thank you! That felt is soft. The felt compresses when you use a lever, and even if your bend is in tune, other strings will go slightly flat when the felt compresses even ever so slightly. Removing the felt and screwing down the baseplate eliminated probably 2/3s of the "cabinet drop" on my guitar.
