Bass Identification Help

[Ken Smith]

It would be 42" string length or mensur in DB talk, not scale.

On the who made it, it can be plural as necks might be made by suppliers, top and back plates and ribs but a team and assembled by another, finished by another, etc. Shop or cottage industry work. Whether this is a Handmade individual bass or not, we would only know if we find other exact basses that are labeled and confirmed along with knowledge of that maker or shop on how things were actually done there. So, probably just go with Saxony area and put it to rest at that.

Ha. So the bass is a ******* pretty much. That's fitting.

Thanks a lot for your help, Ken.

Yes, but a pretty one, nonetheless...
