I have my son's double bass and it has two stickers on the inside. I have know idea about DB. I want to know what type it is. He's just starting out in the middle school band. So any help would be appreciated.

This is a Glaesel bass, likely... a shop-made bass from Germany or Romania. The other label is "saying" that it's based on a design, supposedly, of Stradivarius - of course that is crazy... There are no Strad basses. It was/is a marketing ploy done by many a cheap maker.
Mainly, let's hope it sounds decent and is not difficult to play.
Best!
