Cool German..

This to me does not look like the same model we have seen known as 'blockless wonders' although unless you can prove that neck block is original I would say it was born blockless.

Now, I don't see anything like French tuners on there now or before. The scars show it had plates with German hatpegs. The gears on there now or German as well.

I think this is a Southern German Bass but not Mittenwald or the Tirol, north of those places.

The measurements you give are metric. Why? In USA almost no one knows these numbers without converting them to inches. Speak English, please. The String length is 104.14cm by the way, you missed one..
