What does anyone know of basses by this maker and how do they sound?

Sorry that your question was ignored for the last 6 months. I just recently researched a few of these Basses that I have seen on line as well. One which I thought was made by Collin-Mezin that has a
P.Bisch Brand/
Label is now in
my possession. Look at the link and my 'comments' about the Bass. Your opinions are welcomed.
I originally thought it was a Collin-Mezzin because of the Scroll being the same. Then I remembered about the French Trade Guilds and how identical Scrolls were sold to various shops. I have seen at lease four different Basses with the exact same Scroll so attributing them all to C-M because of the Scroll alone would be an error in judgment I think.
You can Google '
Collin-Mezin Violin' and '
Paul Bisch Violin' to read more about them on line. That would give you some idea at least.
The Bisch Bass has been SOLD.
