My new (19th century) german bass

After a solid three months of shopping for a bass I finally found one. It's a 19th century German bass. The maker is unknown. It's a great bass in perfect condition. It even has 1920 steinway factory spruce on the inside of the bass. Here's the flickr account to see the photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/6546868...th/5959590166/

Are you sure you mean 19th century? 19th century means it was made in the 1800's. If it came from Steinway in the 1920's, that means that it was made in the 20th century.

Nice looking bass, by the way. Digging the emblem.

The inside wood was replaced by the previous owner with the steinway spruce. And the emblem is a really cool touch.
