John Frazier Bristol Double Bass?

[johnfowles]

Hi all,
I'm currently planning a new instrument. Here is how it's described:

English, by John Frazier, Bristol 1892. Violin shaped, arched back, strong regular figure, golden varnish. LOB 1160mm.

Anyone know anything about this maker? I just figure I've got my lovely German 3/4 and I suppose it's time I get an English bass.

Cheers,
John
