I have 5 uprights right now and one has to go, so this is it. I've been using this bass for 30's and 40's jazz and for modern singer-songwriter music, but I'm getting a carved/ply hybrid bass fixed up right now that I'll use for that instead.
This one is a 1950 C-1. I like the tone of this bass a lot - you can hear it for yourself on this youtube post:

This bass is not fixed up all fancy, but plays fine anyway. I have the strings set up kind of high because that works for what I use it for. It does not have bridge adjusters, so if you don't like high action you'll need to get some installed.
It also does not have an adjustable endpin - it just has a receptacle that you can stick a wooden peg into. I have the one that came with it when I got the bass and it's only a couple of inches long. I also made a new one for myself out of a curtain rod and that one is quite long (I'm 6'2").
The fingerboard does not look like ebony - it's probably the original one.
When I got it about 4 years ago the neck was loose. I got that fixed and it's been fine ever since - and I've been using it very often in all weather.
Normal wear and tear - a small bit of delamination that you can see in the pics, and general scratches, etc. A student must have once carved the open string names next to each tuner too. No structural problems or open seams or anything.
I have it strung up with Velvet Animas, but the D string broke so that one is a Velvet Compas 180.
I have a Upton Revolution pickup installed on it and that sounds pretty good. I can negotiate including the pickup if you want it.
Would you mind posting a big head-on photo of the tailpiece decal?
