Double Bass Nation of origin resource?

[James Gibson]

Hello everyone!

Does anyone know of a good resource listing traits that would distinguish, hypothetically, a bass made in the Italian lutherie style vs one made in the German or Czech style? Basically, an explaination of what design elements are clues. An online resource would be preferable.

Thanks!
