Mr. Bollbach is my dad, who knows squat about basses. However he is quite the bass fisherman.

I'd definitely advise trying some of the various models. I have a 7/8 Willow flatback and love it although the bottom end is a bit weak acoustically. However I tried the 3/4 Willow flatback, the 3/4 Rogeri and also some gamba 3/4 Maple roundbacks and didn't like any of them. I was quite disappointed in the Rogeri especially.
