My Tirol Bass (or is it German?) has had so much work done to it in the past it's hard to say who did what when. Now that it's on the bench all of the sins of the past will be corrected as best as possible. In the end, it will be a nice professional grade bass. I was owned and used by another area professional for 20 years before I bought it. It will be ready for the next lifetime of profession use before long.
