The clear coat gets darker but Sonic is lighter than Daphne. Fender discontinued Daphne in 1965 and Mustang Basses came out in '66. What year is yours? Mine was modified by myself and a buddy who worked for RIC. At one time it got a Tele bass HB, compact Schallers and was cocoa brown. Then it got a natural finish and Fender machines. Lastly it got a standard Fender bridge, Dimarzio P pickup, brass nut and all new pots/wiring.

1st...........1949 King upright that I used to play and borrow at will from the King Musical Instruments factory where I worked in the late 1970's. They stopped making them in the 1950's but there were still a few around in the factory. The wood had aged and the jazz tone was unbelieveably good.

2nd..........Aria TAB 66 that I purchased a month ago. Really nice tone.

3rd..........1973 Fender P Fretless with Rotosound 77 jazz flats
