This is an instrument I have inherited from a jazz bass playing relative of mine. I'd love to know any information anybody can kindly contribute to this thread. Many thanks.
The measurements are: Upper Bout - 19" Lower Bout - 26" Rib Depth - 8" String Length - 41" |

yes, Germanic Shop bass

This is more of a German shop bass than a handmade one by an individual. |

Thanks for the info. Could you possibly estimate a date it was made and a rough figure of what I should insure the bass for?

Maybe 1930 or so but you should go to a shop where you are and get a written appraisal. I sold a bass not so different than that valued at $7k that needed some work of which I deducted from the sale price. Prices can vary there from here and depending on the sound and overall condition.

I gave the bass a clean and took some half decent pictures.
also the original measurements were wrong... they are Upper Bout - 20" Lower Bout - 26" Rib Depth - 8.4" String Length - 42" |
