Ok, last post to thank Russel Dawkins and Bstapper for pointing towards the truss rod. Seems loosening it an 1/8 of a turn has enabled me to wind the saddle down half a turn, getting a shallower angle across yet still staying clear of fret rattles even when struck with a jolly strum and the overall tone is more mellow again, plus she feels much nicer to grab on the left hand again. Ebony pins are back (after trying bone ones to calm her down earlier) and liking it again.
Feeling partially stupid, but still convinced the dirt was magical. But mostly, really happy to have got her to a much much better place thanks to this thread, so however stupid to some, it helped out this end, so thanks!!
