Not for nothing but those are not the greatest pictures. I HATE when they are sideways shots. What do you expect us to do to look at a bass long-wise, lift my screen and turn it?.. lol
Anyway, it's a Germanic style bass so what does it really matter which side of the Czech border it was made in?
Why was it re-finished? Without the original varnish in tact, it's impossible to tell if the Scroll is original to the Bass or the back and ribs to the Top. These is no way there unless you measure the purfling and even at that it's not a sure thing.
When you ask Czech or German do you realize that there are at least 2 if not 3 or 4 styles of Czech Basses? Those that look German made near Germany, those inland that look more original and those nearer to Hungary or Vienna and resembling those styles. On the Germans from the last 100-150 years we have the commercial type in either round or flat back, viol or violin shape, the French style with purfling around the top and/or back which are the nicer ones, the totally hand made basses that look original if you could say that and the BIG Mittenwald basses (and some smaller 3/4s) in Gamba or lower rounded corners (Busetto). Plus a few things I left out but who can remember all this stuff.. lol
Your bass could be either Czech or German but Germanic in style regardless of the shop that made it. It is fairly commercial looking and without the linings or with them I don't think it really matters.
How do you like the bass? Just bought it?
I have a
Bohemian Bass not far from that style but a design on the back button. because of the label and knowing the person who found it and brought it here, I know it's Bohemian and German. Short of that, it would be just as difficult to tell. Mine has deeper ribs, slightly similar body bout dimensions but shorter in the body and only a 41" String length.
Value wise its no difference on the origin for German or Czech for a bass like that. The re-finish hurts the most if you ask me. Touch-up and overvarnish is always better than brand spankin' new when it comes to an old bass. If this was unavoidable like it was painted black or re-finished before, then re-doing it correctly was the best way to go.
So, Germanic, 80-120 years old.
