To anybody selling an instrument, private person or dealer: please provide at least, shots of front and back of the bass; next in priority would be straight on or 3/4 views of the sides, followed by scroll front, back, and side.

And trying to get the rib-depth measurements out of the seller is like pulling teeth.

Maybe it's just me but mensure measurements are a big deal. Take the time to learn how to measure this!
Repair history and an acoustic sound clip would be helpful too. |
