But, for jazz, it sounds really good (which is why I bought it) and records really well and I know this from playing lots of basses upwards into the $20's (Arnold's Ergo bass, for one, which I loved and thought sounded fantastic). If you feel my post should be in the 20th Century area of the forum, fine by me, and thanks for your time on this.

Well this Bass is on the fence as far as date and style. That's why I posted the Thread up to 1920 to cover the earlier 20th century Shop Basses and Blockless wonders as they are old Basses now, just not the handmade ones. This Thread is fine where it is. I did move one other Thread there but I would think that people here read everything so it doesn't matter much as long as it's close..
