My Bass: Harold Jaeger

It was worked on by Paris Banchetti in Miami Florida after I purchased it. He installed the Low-C extension for me. It was one of Lucas Drew's basses (professor at U. Miami). I purchased this bass about 10 years ago.

I have been told the scroll is very unique because it rotates around an extra half turn.

This is the first pictures I have put on the net of this bass...

Nice. Do you have any stories about the "accident" which resulted in the neck and button repair? Does that repair stamp say 1942 or 1972?
