FNG needing help

I want to say hello all as I just joined the forum today.
I do have a upright that I've had for years but have no idea what kind it is.
I guess that really dosen't matter other than being curious.
Anyone have any idea?
Bill

What areas do you need to see better?
Thanks for all your time.

From the pics so far, it looks to be a Plywood Bass. With the FB looking to be Rosewood, if that is original I would guess it to be American made. All the German/Czech made Plywood Basses I have seen have Ebony or black stained FBs. I could be wrong about the FB but that is a Plywood Bass. Sound and condition is the most important thing here and not the Brand. Just my $.02.

Thanks Ken.
There's no marking or writing of any kind inside the body.
I've just always been courious of what kind it is.
It does have a rosewood fingerboard .I've had it resurfaced years ago to remove a dent that was in it when I bought it.
It sounds good to me ,full and rich.
Then again ,I haven't played too many others.
By the way,you make some killer basses.
Thanks again,
Bill
