Bass Identification?
Does it matter that much with Plywood Basses what the brand is?
I would suggest to you to spend the time practicing instead. Age dating, country of origin and actual maker/shop is usually only bothered with if the Bass is a handmade Bass or at least made with solid woods and not Ply.
The shops that made Plywood Basses in and around Germany made them for dozens of brands and they vary very little from shop to shop but more so from period to period.
Even in Romania today, the Calin Wultur shop makes only the carved Basses and buys the Plywoods and Hybrids from Gliga just like several others do including a New England shop that has been way over praised in my opinion.
