Hi,
My husband and I bought a new-old double bass. There is still some work to be done (cracks and setup), but it has really nice warm sound.
The seller said it was late 1930s, but I don't suppose so. He got it from his father. Although, I am not an expert (not even a begginer in this field) and that's way I'm looking for some info from you.
It has some cracks on ribs and I think this part is solid wood, the rest is plywood. It is a flatback. Inside, there is a label "Made in Czechoslovakia".
I would be great if anyone could help to identificate this bass.
