What's the story on the raised nut?

[bribass]

Hatpeg style tuners like that are usually more a German/Bohemian trait rather than Italian/English.

[Jason Sypher]

I wrote the guy a PM and suggested that the overall vibe of the bass is German but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. Probably just busy.

The scroll is terrific. I'd love to see some more pix including close-ups!
