Cool 25th?

I will see what I am doing then other than putting in my normal half a day, 12 hours..

On your bass in restoration, yes Neuner is a loose fit at best under the circumstances. Mittenwald school fits better. As with my bass, we can do the same as I have listed already. I know it is not at all English but certainly an English influenced model from what I can see. If the folklore is true and some Tarr's were imported from Germany (in part or whole) then they would have had the means and motive to ship a few of their own Englishized models over to English shops as well to sell in that market. Business is business. Teach someone what works for you and your market and create a competitor at the same time.. lol.. It happens all the time.
