And, if it has a rosewood board you're going to have issues with CITES.

Exactly like a Vox Wyman then!

The Ritter one is pretty good.

Using this theory - TI Flats. They never need to be changed.

Excellent, congratulations on the endorsement. I have a Vintage V300, gotta be the best value acoustic ever even at the full list price.

I'll play. Check out Jake Shimabukuro

Might be worth an email to Nordstrand to see what they can do for you. One option is to buy a 3b and wire it up yourself.

I had one of the 4-string ones back in the 1970s, and I'm pretty sure it was just a push fit into the two sockets on the top of the bass. You're talking about the steel bar, about 300mm long with two 'spikes' that point down into holes in the bass, yes? Maybe try a drop of penetrating oil around the spike ? Be interested to see some pictures. Wish I'd kept mine now.

Tempted to offer £400 quid for it.

I have a Phil Jones Bass Briefcase which is listed as > 4MOhm for the passive input, and it still sounds a hell of a lot better with my EDB-1 in front of it. Not sure if this is due to the EDB-1 impedance or other factors.

If you have a Diego board, it comes with carpet on the board. So the hook goes on the pedals.

Thanks Andy, that ties in with what I know about the history of the bass before I got it, in 1979.
