Thanks for the replies. Ive decided to change the accepted answer and post the solution I finally used - which is insanely simple in the end!!

This is basically based on Dcaunt's comment...

In the bootstrap class..

protected function _initDb()
{
    $resource = $bootstrap->getPluginResource('db');

    $db = $resource->getDbAdapter();

    Zend_Registry::set("db", $db);
}

Then access that elsewhere with...

$dbAdapter = Zend_Registry::get("db");

Thanks for the help and hopefully this helps someone else.
