Bass ID (repost from French section)
I think this is the appropriate location for this question.
I wrote in the French section of "This Old Bass:" "French? German? Here are some photos of my bass: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32223245@N00/ It was called French school when I bought it from World of Strings but later described as German when they appraised it. No label or other markings that we could see inside. They guess 100-150 years old. It has been refinished. Slightly smaller than average 3/4 (I don't have the measurements handy - will add 'em later). Eb neck. I'm very happy with the sound and feel. Anyway, I thought I'd see what the collective here can add to my knowledge of this particular instrument..." Ken determined this was definitely not a French or French school bass but likely German or Czech. See http://smithbassforums.com/showthread.php?p=947#post947 for his full comments. So, I am reposting here. The measurements (from the appraisal by Jon Peterson) are: upper bout: 63.1cm center bout: 37.3cm lower bout: 105.8cm mensur: 104.1 I can also add that the top is spruce, the back and ribs are maple, and the neck is sycamore. Thanks for your input! |
