A friend of mine is selling a relatively unknown double bass for £250. Apparently, it was made in Madrid in the '60s and not much else is known about it. Anyone else have any ideas about it?

Where does the information about it being from Madrid in the 1960s come from? If I had to guess, I would think it may be more recent than that. The pictures are quite low resolution - could you confirm if it's a laminated bass or if any parts are carved? The tailpiece looks like the cast metal ones I've seen on cheap modern Chinese basses and the tuners don't look out of place for that either, but beyond that it's hard to say.
Still, £250 is probably OK for almost any intact bass in playable condition.
