It just arrived a few days earlier. It is a different model than the Kolstein which as for his, I am not sure if it's a labeled or an attributed Bass. The one at Arnold's is fresh in from a recently retired Symphony player and is the d'Salo/Maggini model, the works! I have seen several of these pictured but never played one.

I played only a few notes on the one at Kolstein and it was nice, reminded me of my Gilkes in a way. This one I felt was better than the one at Kolstein's. Also, there is no mistake about what this one is. It's the real McCoy.
