Default ANOTHER Bass ID Thread

I've just really started playing DB after what seems like an age playing electric. This bass has been in the family for a few years, as my sister needed a better bass for orchestral performances. She has since stopped playing altogether due to time commitments, so in steps the jazz loving brother! I've installed a Fishman Full Circle and a new bridge, to allow a lower action, and it sounds fantastic (and VERY loud). The people at Bridgewood & Neitzert (where we bought the bass) reckon it's German, approx 1920s. That seems like a good estimate to me, but I thought I'd ask here and see if I can find out anything more about it.

Thanks
Louis
