Hello everyone. This is my first post, so please be gentle with me haha. I'm a member over at SquierTalk and GretschTalk, and I recently acquired (what looks like) a vintage bass. I did a little research on my own, and I think it might be a HEIT of some sort. Possibly from 1968. No clue, honestly.
Here's a photo:

If anyone can help me identify it, I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi Tony.
The tuners on your bass were used by Kawai in the 1965-67 time frame. It is possible another company also used these tuners but your bass has enough Kawai build characteristics to convince me it was made by Kawai.

I believe that there bass is Matsumoku made circa 1965. These are often found with a Palmer or Tempo brand name
