Hello all, I hope it's alright to post here, I joined in the hope of identifying the make and maybe age-range of a stand-up/double bass that I recently acquired.
It's had some repair work done to it (and could use a bit more) and the repair info appears to have been written inside on a bit of wood which looks to have been replaced.
Unfortunately any original identifying info like a label is not present which is what led me to ask around and see if anybody might have any information based on the body alone.
It's a 3/4 size. I've included a whole bunch of photos of any details which might help in identifying it, and a couple photos of the only writing found within: pen or pencil marks which I think are the details of the repair work. I apologize for the photo-quality of the writing, even I'm not 100% sure of what is written and many searches have come up empty.
My best guess as to what is written is: "Repair 3/90" (Maybe the month and year of the repair? It's also possible that "Repair is not even the word I'm seeing..) And then "M. Campellone" I *believe* that's what it says anyway, and Mark Campellone is a guitar maker I've found with whom I've also put in an inquiry, however he doesn't seem to have a lot going on in the world of Upright Basses. As for the last bit of writing, "P... N." but I'm not really sure what this says.
Anyway, I know this has been kind of lengthy and there isn't a lot to go on but if anybody has any information that might be relevant I'd be very excited to learn anything I can about this bass. Thanks very much to anyone who takes the time to read this.
