Origin Live Silver MK3A on Basis 1400

Hi,
I currently have a Basis 1400 TT with a Rega RB250 (Basis modified). I'm looking to upgrade the Rega to an OL Silver MK3A.

However, I'm unsure whether it would be compatible given the usual issue with Basis TTs having a smooth bore for the tonearm to fit it.

Anyone have any experience with any current OL arms here?

Do I need a sleeve on the threads of the OL or is it a drop-in replacement for the Rega?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks Bill, that's useful. How is your arm held firm without any threads. Does it just fit very tightly into the collet and the collet tightly into the TT.

I have emailed both OL and Basis for advice without response.

Regrettably, even though I'm in the UK the OL dealer network is very small. My nearest dealer is a substantial distance from me.
