Looks good but I realize that could be a fake indeed.
Thanks for supporting us Mr Smith!
It is a new bass and it is what it is as a bass but nothing to do with 1963 or that maker. This is very common so don't feel bad as if you missed out on something. Maybe that Chinese bass is a good bass but it is only worth what another Chinese bass is without that fake name attached to it.

This is the original by the way, Our bass community friend Bill Bentgen has it on his website with the same picture from the Elgar book.
