Decided there are far too many questions about this - even at 1500 quid + auction fees which bidding is now at. So going to pass. Thanks for all the info chaps, you have been most helpful!

Looking at a few more (like this one) and the Andy Baxter one it does seem to be a deeper imprint. Making the one on the left look less authentic!

Yeah, that 'L' is a bit strange. Not seen one like that before. Maybe the serial stamper had been down to the pub that afternoon!

Yes, I thought that. Might be trick of the light tho.

I am going to try and pop in tomorrow.

Thanks for the welcome!

Great! Very helpful. How much you pay for this?

I thought the font for the serial looked a bit strange though. Unlike other 64s I've compared.

It's in an auction mate. Currently 1400. Was wondering whether it was worth a punt really. I think some bits really are 64

Thanks for the responses! Much appreciated. Yes, it does raise rather a few questions I think. Yeah, the decals are a mile off.

Hi there. I was wondering about this '64 Jazz Bass. It is for sale and was wondering about authenticity. I know a fair amount about 50's Strats but not 60s Fender basses. However, being a vintage fan I always wanted a 60s JB. It has been refinished but other parts of it don't look right to me (serial no stamp, knobs, pots etc.). I wondered what your thoughts were - if any? Many thanks!

Thanks!

Hi there fellow bassists! I don't want to post anything in the wrong section so maybe you could you direct me? I have seen a 64 Jazz Bass for sale and wanted to post some pictures and get some opinions on it's authenticity. I don't mind paying to sign up if that's the correct section. If you could advise me on the appropriate part of the forum to post in, that would be great! Cheers!
