old violo bass,(looks like hofner)what year will it be?

[skyovercloker]

Hi friends, I would like to know if anyone can give me information about this bass, which I found at an opportunity, and in which I would like to know approximately their year of manufacture, is of the brand "sonatone" and only find in the back the letters SC-DGE-12059

i read about sonatone n is a japan made, so someone know aprox what year is?

is well taken care of no damages and I see that its electrical system is similar to the classic hofner of 61, ( not the system 500/1 mod. )
this clean was never opened before and works to perfect.




thanks

...as fas as i know, Sonatone was a brand only used in Mexico for stuff made by Teisco in Japan, in the 60s and 70s. the Sonatone amp were built IN Mexico, and were quite decent clones of Fenders.
