Another request for help ID'ing Bass
Thank you for any help in advance.
I recently purchased this instrument on a prospective guitar buying wild goose chase. I know next to nothing about unfretted string identification or value and hope to become better informed by the obvious expertise inherent to this forum. What I think I know: -Recently purchased from a couple in their late eighties in central Indiana. It had belonged to a long deceased brother; the couple know nothing about the bass. -Was repaired by T.G. White in 1969. The only other marking inside the instrument is a sticker from the Fuller Violin Shop, Fort Wayne Indiana, possibly where Mr. White worked. Both Mr. White and Fuller Violins are apparently long gone... -Carved, most likely German or Bohemian late 19th/early 20th century. -Plays and sounds very good in my limited opinion. String length: 41.75 Top length: 43 Back length: 42 Upper bout: 21 Lower bout: 25 Rib: 7.75 At neck: 6.125 Again, sincere thanks, John Wheat, M.D. Last edited by John Wheat; 11-05-2014 at 08:46 PM. |
