I purchased this bass in Miami Florida from Paris Banchetti (http://www.parisbanchettiguitars.com/) in 1996. It was previouly owned by Lucas Drew from University of Miami (who I studied with along with Don Kaufman at UM while I was in High School)...
It was restored (mainly re-finish) and the low C was added at my request...
Has a beautiful huge sound that cuts through... I mainly use it for Jazz... In a small combo I would rarely mic it, depending on the venue...
I believe it is early 1800's... It had been repaired in 1942 in Pittsburg?

One of the things I have been told is unique about this bass is the scroll how it does an extra half a spiral...
