Not to disappoint you Kevin, but the right bits might be unavailable through the usual brass supply outlets of to day.

It might even be the very reason, that you got the Monster unbelievably cheaply. Do not despair. Get yourself a set of Conn bits. Make the 2nd one fit the receiver of the neck by some adapting devise. Made from sheet metal or made on the turning lathe by the kind retired engineer down the road.

Play the monster. Get some more experience. Get some really precise idea of your ergonomic needs.

Maybe you will end up with a specially turned straight bit entering the neck. Combined with one or two standard Conn bits.

A very long shot might be to ask Joe S. whether the 2 Selmer bits he might have in a back room drawer in the lower left corner would be the right thing for you. But be sure to tell him some pretty well measured bore diameters.
