Ok Ken , got my bass back and have taken measurements myself this time and in inches !

body length 42''
upper bout 20''
lower bout 25,5''
rib depth 8'' and tapers to 6,3/4'' at neck start .

It is a really rotund bass , a bit 'lightbulbish' in shape if viewed from the side !
She has a well balanced and very projecting tone with a quick response .
I used her on a jazz session already and she has good presence even in a big and busy arrangement. Needless to say I'm happy.

I'm adding another couple of pics in the hope of finding out more about the instrument !
