New "old" bass?

[Hannes Beyer]

Hi!

I just bought this bass and I really would appreciate your opinion about its origin and age. The only fact about the bass I know for sure is that the previous owner, who no longer is alive, got his hands on it in the fifties. It also has notes from a guy repairing it in 1987 here in Sweden. And it has an inscription inside that says "rebuilt in 1829" (in Swedish) but no name or other documentation to confirm that.

The bass is not in healthy condition at all at the moment, the neck is lose and there are some open cracs in the top. If you look at the frontal picture you can see that the neck and/or scroll is twisted, showing one side more than the other.

Upper Bout 20,8"
Center Bout 14,7"
Bottom Bout 26"

Rib Depth 7,2" (5,5" at neck)
Belly Length 43,3"
String Length 43,3

I would be very greatful for any comments.

Best regards,

Hannes
