Default Pattern

Hey Noah. My name is Adam and i've been a professional player for the last 20 years. The bass your showing us looks like a mid 20th German or Czech bass. The pattern work on the back appers to be done at a later date and looks very new to the bass. I have never seen a bass with this pattern. Also the whole bass looks like it's been refinished and someone has made the neck removeable, not something we usually see standard from whatever shop made this. This does not appear to be an old bass and is that a number 1 on the button of the scroll turn? Besides the work done with the fancy inlay on the back this looks like a school bass or student model. Probably no name maker involved unfortunately. But if the instrument sounds good and desireable it doesn't mean that it's a bad bass. Most playable basses are good basses. Hoping this helps. Best, Adam Linz
