Bass id help and should I take it in?
Hi, thanks everyone for your input, I recently got a 3/4 bass and I'm VERY new to this. I'm not sure what I have. I'm a little worried because I think it might be cracked. Should I take it into a luthier to be fixed or am I being ridiculous?
The one on the back is the biggest worry, but ones on the front feel like they might have been filled in does that mean they've been cracked before and then fixed? Is that something I should worry about? I'm pretty sure it's carved but if anybody can confirm that'd be really nice We were told it's German but there's no paperwork or anything like that and no stickers on the inside. I can't find any stamps or names to identify it. Last edited by Morgan DeVoe; 02-11-2018 at 08:11 PM. Reason: Fixing pictures sorry! |

hey.......
REDUCE the pics.. They are 4 screens wide!..
"I'm not sure what I have." Really, would you but a car like that knowing nothing? Please reduce your pics and use [img] [/img] with the links in-between and they will show that way. I can blow them up but I can't see something that is pressing my eyeballs. |

Hi sorry about that! Hopefully they are less exploding now.
The reason I picked it up with so little information was because it was really really cheap and from a friend who I trust. Thanks for your help I really appreciate it. |
