Default Can anyone identify my bass?

I don't know what it is other than a fairly basic laminate bass. It has no tags or markings other than a serial number. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I have here.

Modern Germanic factory plywood. Not made by an individual. I don't know the factory but they could be sold under more than one brand. This is common with generic plywood basses. Don't loose sleep over the shop, maker or brand, just enjoy it.

When you start spending $10, 20, 40, 60, 100K on a bass, then it becomes more important to ask these questions. Even with basses over $200k, they get sold and owned for years never knowing who made it or even exactly when or where.

Thanks for the reply! I want to sell this bass, but don't know how or where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? (Asking price, dealers; I am located in central Minnesota).
Thanks!

Sorry, I don't know what these go for. I rarely handle a plywood bass. Maybe the guys at TB can help you. That is more of Plywood country over there as compared to this forum.
