Spotting an original neck finish - Fender Musicmaster

I've recently purchased as 1978 Fender Musicmaster with the plan of cleaning it up and turning it back into a gigging bass. For the most part, I can tell what's original and what isn't, however I have no idea with the neck finish. I was wondering if there's any obvious ways of telling, and if anyone here may be able to shed a little light.

Anyway, here's the bass in question

Hi, purely from that pic it looks like a refin to me.

+1  Looks like it has a vintage tint to me. The neck finish on my Musicmaster is much paler. Couple of pics below for comparison
