I don't really know what would be best. My guess is rubber to avoid any kind of rattle, don't you think?

That sounds right. Small rubber 1/2" plumbing washers w .1" holes would work. I was thinking of wood washer or a wood underplate, but re your rattle observation, I think any rattle or transmitted vibration could be picked up as a kind of lag/feedback/distortion by the Piezo pickup. It should just pick up the vibrations transmitted by the saddle. Rubber it is Sir. Thx from this nubie for advice/guidance.

Thx for getting back Sir. You are the authority on modifying Rondo Basses! The stretchiness why I was considering the 24" scale set. Aquila is good string IMO, but after 1 set of Pahoehoe, I’m hooked by the tone, playability, and intonation. I already have Kala machine tuners and I feel good about installing them.

Any tips re enlarging the Peg holes? The FAIL would be going too far, right? I’m thinking:

>Don’t use electric drill. Work by hand.
>Buy a cheap wood reamer?
>Buy 4 drill bits sized to task? (rotate by hand, not w drill)
>Make homemade reamer w sandpaper around tiny bit?
>Catch dust with shop vac pulling from body as I work?
>Catch dust w fabric or mask taped inside body (a makeshift dust bag)?

I've used an electric drill and proper sized bit, but a proper sized reamer would be fine. I would not use sandpaper on a bit. I do use a small shop vac, good idea.

GIO, please email me, [email protected] That way I can attach photos easily.

I thought I noted that it was sold many weeks ago. Sorry if I missed that.
