ok..
I know Tirol basses but just because the neck area ribs are raised doesn't make it a Tirol bass. They made basses like this in Bohemia and other parts of Germany. The F-holes on this looks more German to me.
43" String length? anything over 42" these days is difficult to sell. I would stay away if it can't be modified unless you don't care about its resale value and are way way over 6ft tall with long and strong fingers. 41.5" on average is the preferred length these days. I always try and stay within 41-42".
Looking for a bass? Why not come and see what I have as well?
This bass is still blockless? Unless getting it for a song, you will spend multi-thousands making it into an acceptable bass.
Call me if it's business related.
