The reason I picked it up with so little information was because it was really really cheap and from a friend who I trust. Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.

Well, I think the neck is beech and has been broken. With neck graft, FB and bridge, 4-5k fix. The varnish looks stripped. Basses like this usually run more to fix than they are worth. If if fully restored, some things will never be like it was originally.

Also, what are the measurements? If you know how to measure the specific areas, use this example and fill in your numbers.

String Length; 41 3/4" (106cm)
Top/Back Length; 44 3/4" top/back, 46" to back button
Upper Bout; 19 1/4"
Middle Bout; 14 1/4"
Lower Bout; 25 1/2"
Ribs; 8 1/4" tapering to 6 1/2" at Neck
