Thanks again, Ken. According to Aaron, "the Guy Cole bass was modeled after a bass made Giovanni Dollenz of Trieste Italy dated 1852. Dollenz was considered to be the top maker from Trieste at the time and was reported to have studied with Lorenzo Storioni." Ken, did you notice any similarities between the Dollenz that you saw and Storioni's instruments that you own/have studied? I'm not sure that the dates work out for Dollenz studying with Storioni, but I suppose it depends on their respective ages. In any case, I'd love to check out Guy's work in person, and of course, I'd love to check out your Storioni (although it's completely out of my league).
