Those of you that frequent the "other" bass discussion board know the story, for those of you that don't...

This bass was found in an Iowa road ditch by my father. It was undoubtedly a school instrument as it has a long defunct school name in marker on the side.

I've taken it to a highly reputable luthier and his take on it was..
German, WWI vintage, fully carved, not in bad shape at all, will make a terrific jazz bass.

I'm really excited to start the restoration.

Discuss!
