Univox Hi Flier Bass

I recently acquired a Univox Hi Flier bass and I'm trying to figure out a range of when it's made. It has the decal logo on the headstock and tan humbuckers. Any ideas?

not that I know a lot about Univoxes, but it might help out people seeing this post if you would link detailed pictures of your hi-flyer.... just sayin'. I can seldom date a guitar based on a 1 sentence verbal description.

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

that's actually a really cool article... my lust is still for an original mosrite. If you'd ever played an old mosrite you would get it. They are the nicest bolt-ons of their era and some of the nicer production bolts of any period... every single one I have ever laid hands on was amazing and the pickups are outstanding. Semi Moseley was the man. But wow, great article. I like reverb's hsitory articles (although they recently posted info on the fender pricneton line that ahd some real exagerations and inaccuracies, but you could be forgiven for them if you were going by the schematics and hadn't been inside hundred and thousands of old fender amps)....

so I've only seen the hi-flyer bass with humbuggies... unless there's some secret single-coil basses floating aorund that narrows Punk Zebra's down to the lastg eneration of them I think
