How do I Lessen tension on an Acoustic Bass Guitar?

I have had my Carlo Robelli Acoustic bass for over a year now and im starting to notice right by the hole that the wood is kind of bending in slightly. Im assuming its because of tension from the strings (they are pretty tight.) Im afraid that this will permanently wreck the guitar. I know its a cheaper brand of guitar but it sounds fine. Any ideas?

First answer is pretty much right. You lessen the tension on the strings, you lower the notes. It probably amounts to being a bolt on neck or another cost cutting technique. Unfortunately, in the world of music, you truely get what you pay for....
