here are pictures of the pickups, one dates clearly to 64, while the other one is black. i just read that the older ones (pre 64) were black. but i guess somebody on here knows better than me anyways...!?

come on, look at all the tiny detailed wear the bass has (not talking about the finish-relic) no one could ever fake this.. brazilian rosewood fretboard - pre-CBS. which means pre-65. and btw... i bought this out of a houshold clearance, as if one would place a fake fender there... and i offer paypal, if something other than mentioned above turns out to be not original i will refund the money.

i am in germany. shipping to UK would be around 30 pounds.

the bass was stripped when i got it and it had leftovers of red and black in the neck pocket. even then you you couldn't see any stamps anymore. i would never offer something which i wasn't 100% confident its original.

Sold

[quote name='CH161' timestamp='1452973584' post='2955286'] Maybe you should get the "official" certificate first? Then maybe people would be interested in buying it. [/quote] actually i could, yes. but how many refinshed vintage instruments have been sold on here and you only go after some stamps, which are the most easily to fake? i think corrects measurments of parts are whats important, and someone who is intrested in buying vintage instuments can clearly see that this is the real deal...

like i said i had the bass refinished at limelight guitars. refret was made by "boerjes bass guitars" (famous german bass luthier) and i had it for inspection at "vintage guitar oldenburg" (one of germanys well-known and oldest vintage dealer). none of them had any doubt that it isnt original. if someone is seriously interested in buying it, i can get an "official" certificate.

As you can see the neck date isn't there anymore and the neck pocket is oversprayed. but you can see the stamp on the back of the neck. i took some detail pics of the most important parts. a vintage guitar shop had this bass under inspection and there was no doubt it was original. also mark from limelight basses took it part and he had nothing to complain and told me "its a great one" ;-)

[quote name='Powerbas' timestamp='1452884492' post='2954503'] Any pictures to prove it's an original '64? [/quote] what do you need?

hi, if i remember correctly the neck stamp has vanished (i can have a look again and take pictures when i am at home). other than mention above, everything is original. of course this is no real collectors item, but the real deal and meant to be played. i get a certificate from a well known vintage dealer if desired.
