If someone could help my identify the model of this apollo bass I would appreciate it. It is for sale locally so I am trying to find a fair price. I've been searching for two days and have come up with a bunch of nothing.

Apollo was a brandname used by Saint Louis Music from the mid 1960's to early 1970's. After 1973, SLM dropped the Apollo brandname for Electra.

Your bass does not appear in any of my Apollo literature. Stylistically, it looks like it was built in the later 1960's.

I think price really depends on whether it can be intonated and if it is playable. Hard to tell much from your picture but it appears like it may be refinished.
