Default laminated or not?

Ken,

The design on the back of your bass looks identical to mine (below).

- edges around f-holes are blackened, so you can't see ply or no ply
- it's a flatback
- label reads: "Made in Czecho Slovakia" and "Antonius Stradivarius copy"
- as the photo of the top shows, the grain is pretty wide
- neck is new; old one broke in shipping
- two long cracks on top, not aesthetically repaired but holding together

Would one assume correctly that this bass is also laminated?
Also, can you tell approx. the year or the decade it was made?

Thank you.
