Price reduced! Vintage Upright - MA/RI Border

I'm selling a Vintage Upright Bass with soft case, german bow, and great action. The bass has an adjustable bridge that helps set the action and intonation. Previous owner stripped the finish and applied a clearcoat. There was a body crack near the bridge that was repaired. The sides of the headstock scroll are damaged and there is some separation at the joints, but none of this effects playability.

Bass still sounds killer and plays even better. This bass plays better than any sub $3500 upright that I have played. Great neck, great action, adjustable bridge. If you're into a killer sounding/playing bass that looks a bit relic'd, this is the bass for you. Check it out.

Local sale only. Reduced price! $1100 obo. Do it!

Are there any markings inside the body or anywhere else?

There was some type of sticker inside before, but it seems scratched off/not legible.
