Sorry if they're sideways

more photos,
If you'd like more photos of the F holes, or whatever, just let me know.

There is a print of 1870, in the scroll, but its kinda worn, and impossible to see in the photos

Is that a hump near the heel of the neck. That would be a very rare English feature?

[ekspain]

the neck is probably not original. The shoulders were cut down at some point. Perhaps that effects things...

[ekspain]

though I'm not sure what you mean by "humP" Jason..

[AMJBASS]

I think Jason means over the top block. Many older German basses have this "hump". Not to say that your bass isn't what you say it is of course. Nice looking bass by the way!

[ekspain]

Thanks Adrian. No, its pretty unanimously considered Northern English

[Jason Sypher]

I was referring to the neck block which looks in the photos to be raised like my bass. Any guesses who made it, even wild guesses? Looks like a beautiful instrument.

Cole, Tar, Shaw..one of them cats...

[Jason Sypher]

those are some nice cats....

[ekspain]

yep. This bass sounds really nice. I need to do a tad bit of work on the bridge- but other than that its in good shape. Sounds awesome in the section.
