String length is 42" now. I don't know what it was before. The bass plays great as it is now.

This English made Hawkes Panromo is now my personal property but still for sale. Robert Green is the supposed maker of these basses for Hawkes & Son. The later Boosey & Hawkes instruments were probably made in Germany as they were past the time of Robert Green who initially designed these basses for Hawkes as well as making the English Panormo model in-house.
The Bass has Pirastro Passione Starks on it now and what a thunderous sound it has.
