This is a 5-string made in Belgium in the 1970s if that helps.

Hmz, no idea, he should be belgian, I'll ask around. I DO know a mighty fine bass player called Philippe Aerts

Philippe Aerts must be much more famous than his bas making relative, because that's about all that comes up in various internet searches that I've tried!

very good technique and good sense of pulse...

I live in between Antwerp and Ghent now, but I'm thinking of moving to Ghent.

happy 2010 to you as well

ps: Philippe gave classes @ Dworp Jazz summerschool last year, hope he'll be teaching there again this year
