Too many people say Mittenwald or Tyrol for a German or Czech bass they can't be sure of. The button on the pegbox is very Czech/Bohemian like.


Instead of being sharp around the lower edges of the Button, they use a flat bevel to make it look wider. I have seen this many times on Bohemian basses. Classic feature of that school. You can call that 'the smoking gun'.
