Is my bass French or German?

[David McKinney]

I'm in the process of selling a lovely bass I've had for a couple years. It was restored by Reid Hudson who identifies it as French, and a luthier I respect a lot also believes it to be French (via photos only).

However, the potential buyers who have looked at it all believe it to be German.

Would anyone here like to weigh in?

It's in excellent structural condition, and aside from the discoloration around the bridge is in great cosmetic condition as well.

Thanks for looking and sharing your thoughts.
