Wanting info on old bass

[Marianne Drabek]

Thank you for your previous assistance. I did buy the bass. It has a very even tone across the strings and up and down the fingerboard. It's easy to play and the price was excellent. I polished it with Orange oil and took some more pictures hoping that would help you in better determining the probable age and place of origin. These pictures show the back and front finish. I notice that there are dings in the wood that seem to have finish in them. The back is particularly that way. Would that indicate the current finish is newer?
