And not refinish ?

You're right, no trace of paint or varnish on neck pocket or everywhere else.

Ok for solid colors. On you own opinion, for the naturals is it the same ?

So it should be on all models ?

They only thing i'm sure isn't original is the wiring of the PU's. And i can't check the PU's SN because of the foams stamps (?) who are glued under them and i don't really want to remove them... But i'm almost sure that it was an natural born bass.

My bass :

Well, maybe.. but they are exactly same positions than others..

Marks on Strat are in another place.

Hi All ! I've got a 76 natural FenderJazz bass, and a friend of mine told me it could't be an original natural because of the two router marks on the back. For him, those marks are present on Solid bodies colors but never on naturals. He also told me that there's always somewhere on the body (neck pocket, under pickguard...) a stamp named NATURAL. But i don't see the stamp in most of natural Fender basses i can find... mine don't have it. But, i can see everywhere on the web naturals Fenders with those two router marks, and sold as 100 % originals basses (or guitars). Some have not, but some have it.
