It's an old thread, hope my post may be useful anyway.
I custom ordered 4 years ago a 5-string from Akos, it is the Forster model. It's a big bass :
Length of back 114 cm.
String Length 105.5 cm.
Width of top bout 53.6 cm.
Width of 'C' 38 cm.
Width of Bottom Bout 69 cm
Maximum Depth of Ribs 24 cm
I received it 9 months later, beautiful instrument,very nicely built, and tremendous sound. I have always received compliments about the power and the rich deep tones of the bass in the orchestras in which I've played.
