This is a Low End (made on the cheap) Germanic bass, turn of the century or so, Flat back with plain woods and beech neck. Many ugly repairs but not too many of them. Over or re-varnished as well. 114cm is WAY too long for playing anything today professionally unless you are over 6 feet tall, a Giant. 107 or less should be the maximum length in my opinion.

Even if this is for free, playing this bass long term can be painful in the short and long run. Both physically and musically.
