What is my Bass?
I have a new bass and I'm trying to determine what it may be...
It does appear to be old inside the bass, the wood looks old. Their are no markings or labels in the bass. It does have new gears. It looks as if the upper left shoulder has been reduced at some point in the life of this bass. Any ideas and opinions on it are greatly appreciated. Measurements: Upper 20 1/2 Mid 15 3/4 Lower 25 1/2 LOB 44 String Length: 40 1/2 Rib Depth: 8 1/2 pictures are here... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1&l=35ce6fcb00 |

Hi Ken,
I bought this bass at an antique auction in the UK. I liked the sound of it and plan to keep it set up as my main arco bass. I have no idea's what it may be other than it looks German. Any thoughts on it you'd like to share would be appreciated. |

Yup, not been played before ever. And.. NOT cut down.. Just made that way to fool those with no experience looking at fakes. I have and have had many modern basses that were antiqued to look old. Not all the people selling them sold them truthfully either. How old does this bass really look? http://www.kensmithbasses.com/double...concini-model/ I have two others here of that model, all of which I had made for my shop here and most guess they are 100-150 years old. Days maybe, but not years. |

wow, it didn't occur to me it might be a gypsy bass.
The bass does have quite a few repair patches on the inside and outside that look as if the bass has history... fooled me. You guy are the experts so thanks for commenting on this one. |

but, no matter who made it and how old it is, it can also be a good instrument.
how much did you pay? |
