Yup, not been played before ever. And.. NOT cut down.. Just made that way to fool those with no experience looking at fakes.

I have and have had many modern basses that were antiqued to look old. Not all the people selling them sold them truthfully either.

How old does this bass really look? http://www.kensmithbasses.com/double...concini-model/

I have two others here of that model, all of which I had made for my shop here and most guess they are 100-150 years old. Days maybe, but not years.
