Hi,
I am posting because I came across a bass recently that I am looking to buy but the seller doesn't seem to know a whole lot about it other than the fact that it maybe a "Blockless Wonder". So through searching around for info on exactly what a blockless wonder is I came across your site.
From reading through the threads here I think it may be german/czech because of the tuning pegs but it would be great to have a well trained eye look at it.
The only thing that is throwing me off is that the body wood seems quite intensely figured or at least it is more prominent than the other examples here on the site. It does look to have been refinished so that may be why?
Also it has some cracks in the body, just wondering if those are serious or are easy to get repaired?

Any help/insight is appreciated,
