also..
I see several worm holes in that Scroll/Pegbox.
 Check that Bass VERY carefully. Worms can make 'toast' out of wood. I have seen it. Very hungry little critters.

1892 frazier pics
Hi everybody. I remember I too asked for the photos of this bass a few years back. I know what is the dealer you are talking about in the Uk. I still have the photos in my archives so here they are : the string length is extremely long (don't remember exactly how much). It seems to me that the high cello shoulders and the long s.lenght mean not a good investment at all
 !

I was considering a French, Mirecourt c1890, flat back with corners. I'll try and get hold of a pile of pictures and see what you think. The body size was just right. And playing the flatback seemed somewhat more comfortable than a carved back (the balance was just better on my knee).
Any comment on basses from that era and location?
