If you look in the old turn-of-the-20th-century Sears catalogs you will see blockless basses for sale, and clearly marked "Made in Germany". At least this is my pre-dementia remembrance. I also recall they were priced at $25 for the basic model and $50 for the Deluxe. I think the "Tyrol" attribution is an American thing.

Reason: moved here from the "Doubled up.." thread because it belongs here under the Blockless topic.
