Help with my new Juzek..

[Mike Drost]

Hello!

I purchased this bass in Grand Rapids recently. It used to be the property of the University of Illinois. I really like it and would like to see if anybody can help me gather information about the bass and date it.











Upper Bout - 19"
Lower Bout - 25 1/2"
Bottom of Bass to Neck Block - 42 13/16"
Depth - 8 1/4" tapers to 7 1/4" at neck.
String Length - 42"

The label inside ready John Juzek, Formerly of Prague, Made in Germany. Pretty typical as I understand of the Juzek production basses of the time. I have read up on Ken Smith's forum and this forum, but haven't been able to get a general idea of the year it was made. It is fully carved, and was restored by Aaron Reiley in GR.
