1950's German Carved Back 3/4

[tbassclef]

Beautifully figured quilted maple back, hand-carved in Germany. Gorgeous flamed maple sides; two piece, book matched medium to fine grade spruce top - no cracks. The sound is amazing!! It's been very well-maintained through the years, and has only had one renovation during my ownership: the fingerboard was replaced by the fine luthiers at David Gage's world-renowned shop in Manhattan.
3/4 size
Price: $14,000 (negotiable)
Also included:
*An almost completely unused Mooradian Deluxe Double Bass Bag ($440 new).
*Beginner level french grip bow.

what's the string length on this bass?

[tbassclef]

embarrassed to say that i don't know the string length. just searched around to find out how to measure it, and couldn't find any information. does that vary between different 3/4 size basses? please let me know how exactly to measure that, and i'll give you the measurement.
-thanks

just take a tape measure and measure the distance between the nut and the bridge along the string. i measure from the exact point where the string leaves the nut to where it first touches the bridge. it can vary from bass to bass even thought it's 3/4.
