Help Identifying This Bass! (Matsumoku content)

Ive had this bass for a few months now and still cant find any info or another one like it. Definitely seems like Matsumoku territory though. Any help is much appreciated.

It may never have had a name on it so you may have figured out just about everything there is to know. Definitely out of the same factory as the Aria and Epiphones from the same general time period. Its cool. That's all you need to know!

No idea what it is, 60's-70's Japanese seems right, but that is cool!

I would look here, they have a pretty expansive collection of pictures and information about Matsomoku basses...

She does look like an Uncle Matt 60's bass. Have no idea what could have been on the headstock . Put so many names on there in the 60's and 70's. Looks like it could be a fun bass to play.

Teisco / Domino / Univox / Telestar / Kent / Kingston / Guyatone / Blackstone / Sekova / Maier / Zen-on / Maya ...

It's very similar in shape to the Guyatone Victoria, and I've seen those knobs on many things branded Sekova.



I'd post it over at http://vintaxe.com and see what they say
