Double Bass Bass id

Could anyone recognize or see anything from this picture?

It's an auction bass that has the current bid on $8
I've have max bid at c.a $150 right now
Probably is a really cheap thing (i have not seen it) but you just don't know!

Looks Germanic, maybe Bohemian or Tyrolean. It's hard to guess how old from that photo, maybe early 1900s?

Yeah, i thought about Bohemian!
Maybe it's worth to bid a couple of hundreds!
Most likely, i won't lose any money if i'll sell it afterwards.

Based on that picture I would raise my max bid to at least $1,000. The belly has suffered some significant damage and questionable repairs, and if the rest is similar it would seem likely that a significant amount of work would be needed to render a stable, good-sounding bass. But the outcome after a restoration (if it's actually necessary) could easily be a fine sounding pizz bass worth several times that amount. That's my guess from the one little picture anyway.

I'll be watching the auction closely!
right now i have the highest bid on $8 and have the maximum at $150. It will probably go way over that, though. We'll see how long i can hold it! The auction ends at 1st of august.
