What kinda Bass is this?

[Bob Martocchio]

A couple of more that didn't upload with the first few. I also added one of the horn on the body. You can see that the body is two pieces glued together. If this was refinished. It sure was a long time ago Judging by the wear that is visible. Including a burn mark I saw (possibly a cigarette) on the head stock.

It was refinished - you can see a little red and black stain left behind on the headstock near the nut and on the body in the neck pocket. I do agree that it was quite a while back, '70s probably, and that the age and wear on it is legitimate.
The refinish was a positive thing in my opinion. I like the natural look, and they used a nice veneer on the front and back.
Enjoy!

This bass reminds me of the instruments in '60s/'70s mail-order catalogs my engineer grandfather got from companies like Lafayette Electronics. Sunburst finishes, pickup on/off switches and laminates galore, see p. 104 here for some not-dissimilar examples. I had a Kay electric guitar from this era.
