Please Help Identify Two Basses

Some quite hefty rib depth on that German/Bohemian style bass for its size. You are measuring inside the Top and Back I presume or including the plates?

So basically, one is a French 7/8 size or maybe intended as a full size 4/4 model and the other a Germanic 3/4 sized bass. Nice family you have there..

The measurements include the plates on both basses.
I'll bear that in mind for future reference.

Thanks again Ken.

Yes, when measuring Ribs, you measure the wood of the Ribs only and not the top and back. If making a case then you need all of the girth but in measuring, it's that actual wood parts individually.
