Probably an original Ampeg Baby Bass.
This one has the original tailpiece.
The Azola had a different one.
The headstocks are different too.

Mine is a little different. It was made in Colombia S.A.

It's possible that it is an Original Ampeg Baby Bass. Some of them were made in solid colors. They were available in various colors, including white, red, black, turquoise, and "mahogany wood grain." (The "grain" is actually contact paper stuck on the inside and surrounded by brown paint to create a primitive sunburst effect. But my guess is that its an Ampeg BB4 the turquoise model. And no one is making those anymore, only replicas. Now if you search eBay, or here on TB you might find someone selling an Original 60's Ampeg BB4 for approximately $1500 - $3000. Good Luck!
