It's not the full view, but from my gig tonight:
This is a 1976 Giuseppe Lombardi from Italy. It's a standard 3/4 slab cut poplar back, spruce top with a neck removal system by Mike Shank.
My Juzek in a messy living room:
I bought this bass years ago literally in pieces for $200 from a former music teacher who lived in my apartment. I had to pay a luthier over $2000 to glue it all back together. Of course, it needed a button graft which he didn't do (long story), so I paid a different guy for that and he did a hack job (long story).
Love this bass, in all its scratched up glory.
Started playing again this past winter after a long hiatus.

I am loving that scroll!
Out of curiosity, how wide are the upper bouts on your bass?

Gets the biggest sound with the least amount of effort of any instrument I've had my hands on…
'41 Gibson B250 carved bass. A wonderful instrument!
I really like this one-piece ash back ...
Who is the maker?
Yeah those are really cool, the texture in the wood looks great, I saw a few of those…opted for maple.
