http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1966-fender-jazz-bass-/141896992736? bona fide? .. didn't think the block necks were about then? Messaged re. the 2 bolt/screws missing from the tuners assembly; amazing if they've been like that for 50 years !! Sorry if mentioned before - had a look/check but couldn't find the same bass...................

On ebay.Fr/Be.:- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141838867608?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT i messaged the seller re. the Decal (the worst I've seen) mainly, but also queried the bound (+ ebony?) neck, which I thought wasn't right for 76 (??). He doesn't speak English, so had to use Bing Translator. His latest (translated) reply :- " Good evening Apparently you tell me that my bass is not a Fender! This is very weird, unless the renowned stores sell fake Fender in Belgium... I bought it new. May be it is not the years 1978, may be 1980... But I can assure you that personally for having bought it in store and have played it for many years I can tell you it's an excellent bass and origin. Thanks for having me announce my bass was a fake. Me I have no doubt that it is original Good evening..."

Thanks ikay ! Sounds promising - I did wonder if John E (others) might do something to fit. I'll send him an email and ask for guidance etc.

Apologies if this has been shown before - had a look back through the 23 (!) pages and couldn't find it. Details / Spec's below with a link to the site listing. Not had this long but using it a lot - playing 5's mainly now but always feel the need for a J4 (and a fretless). This bass is great and looks/feels/sounds the business; already fooled quite a few people (including local bassists) who assumed it was a genuine USA pre-CBS 64. So I'll be selling my CS USAJ4 as it's too much of a worry to take some places (!!) :- [b][font=Arial][size=4]Limelight Custom Guitars 00155 J Bass Medium relic Black over CAR[/size][/font][/b] [font=Arial][size=3]This is a Limelight '64 J Bass with all the correct features from that era and featuring a "J" width neck. [/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=3] It's been quite a while since a bass has been available for stock as the last several months we've been busy making custom orders. This bass is in custom colour black over Candy Apple Red - it was common at the time for custom colours to be sprayed over another finish that had been rejected by quality control earlier. Most commonly Sunburst as they were the most difficult to get right, but certainly other colours were also sprayed over. [/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=3]The body has a medium relic, but looks "right" The metal work is just lightly tarnished which is how we've been doing them recently, and I think it looks better and more authentic.
