I have seen this done and the results were amazing. Usually, a bass with a sound that's 2-4x its quality in pedigree value and in good repair order in as well the end.
So in closing, do not take for granted a German Shop bass. The way in which it was made and the results unaltered is 'Not' all it can be!

Thanks for this info, as I have been thinking about this for my "Juzek". Might be a cost effective way to get into a higher level instrument, and I get to keep a bass that's been with me 30 years.
