I just picked this up, and do not know what i have.

I was looking for a bass, want to learn to play, and a friend gave this to me.
not sure if its what i need to learn on, but maybe i can sell it so that i can get what i need.
thank you

It is an electric upright Morelli bass. The bassist of Philly trio STINKING LIZAVETA, Alexi Papadopoulos, plays one. You can go to the link below, contact him and get particulars on your bass.

Looks like an early version of this. I saw Viktor Krauss play one with Lyle Lovette a few years ago.

need to learn the basics first .

I've seen old pics of Stanley Clarke with something like that, I think. Maybe I even saw him play it once? Must have been a loooong time ago.
