Yip I guess when it comes to making an instrument a good maker can approximate any other makers instruments if need be!! Must make your job interesting with all the detective work .Ken with all the knowledge you've accumulated over the years you should perhaps consider publishing it .
One more observation about looking inside this bass ..... The neck and tail blocks are quite rough / the shape is correct but no one bothered to smothe them off well . The inside back of the instrument is also not 'finished off ' properly , there are chisel scoop marks around the lower bout edges . The top appears well made in all aspects . Any ideas on this apart from a maker trying to rush a shop bass ?
