Details

Fully carved roundback German bass made in the early 20s. Huge sound that rings like a bell in all registers. Body was refinished at some point, which is really love/hate because it wasn't done by someone who was particularly talented at refinished.

String length: 42.5 in

Body length: 44 in

Upper Bouts: 19 in

Lower bouts: 24 in

String with evah wiechs, but I think I have a set of dead spiros somewhere that I'd be willing to switch out. I also have a realist pickup I could put on.

When I got it, it had cracks in the sides and top, but those have been repaired. I also just got the fingerboard replaced by Pat Mcarthy in Berkeley. Headstock had been reattached at some point but is solid as a rock.

Eb neck
