I own a German Johann Georg Kessler bass: 
It's a good bass (not a great bass, but good for the €600 I paid for it), but I have no clue how old it is. It's at least older than 1990, because the label says "Johann Georg Kessler, West Germany". Is there any way I can really determine how old my bass is?

OP needs to call Marv Albert for guidance. |
