John,
Your grand plan really intrigues me, as it reminded me how Martin Suter at Das Blashaus installed my Selmer Privilege's triple-vent register mechanism(Bb tube+2 register vents like the Buffet Tosca). It involves the new throat Bb vent, the existing lower register vent(shrunk in size via a delrin insert), but the upper register tube(your main site of modification) is untouched. The Low Eb tonehole has also been enlarged as well, improving the intonation of the Low Eb, E/B & F/C 12ths in conjunction with the new triple register mechanism. But I digress.

I'm very excited to see how your Leblanc will transform, but with one major caveat: Since you have a metal neck(as with most basses) I'm not entirely sure how difficult it is to solder the posts & the upper register vent on it. So be prepared in case you need to purchase a 2nd all-new customized neck with the upper register vent built-into the neck.

Perhaps your wisest approach would be to have Jared to measure and write down the upper register hole size FIRST so to preserve the dimensions for the new neck, then he could fill the old one up on the upper joint, then make the new tunable neck with the built-in upper register key(either by Karsten Gloger or Jared). Hope this helps with your quest!

Josh
