2nd look..
I blew up the Top and side pics. I see the Neck has been repaired under the peg box and it looks to be a Beechwood Neck.
The Top does not look Purfled but has a shadow of some scratched lines. Th missing lines in most areas can be due to sanding during re-finish or partial re-finish.
I would take a stab at this placing it in the Mittenwald, Bavarian/German Tirol area (South Germany!) at turn of the century c.1900.
Condition of top and ribs looks good for its estimated age from the pics. This is just a guess as I haven't seen the Bass in person.
I need to see the Back and the other detailed Pics I mentioned to go further with this.
Arnold?
