1964 fender jazz bass

[randomlight]

I have a cance to buy an L series 1964 fender jazz bass .serial no. is correct for 64.
It looks a little beat up but is all original. Would 5000.00 be too much? heres some pics thankso

If it's all original (finish included) I'd jump on it!

Thanks Refin ,I am told that it is all original but could you tell me how one knows if the paint is original?

If I were going to spend 5 Large on a guitar I would find someone who knows their stuff and pay a small fee if necessary to authenticate the bass.Heck,maybe they would settle for dinner---better to invest $50 than get taken for that amount X 100!

And I thought I overpaid for my refinned 65 for $1000 around 10 years ago...

I`m still thinking about this guitar. How can I tell if it is a fefin or not? Anyone?

Overpriced, IMHO.

Be patient and that $5K will buy a nice vintage Jbass.

There are many online resources to determine the "correctness" of that guitar.

Everything about the wear on that instrument looks fake to me, but especially the weird business on the headstock, which I can only assume is there to misdirect you from wondering about the decal.

My $0.02.

I have the same exact thoughts. The wear looks 'overdone'. For 5K I'd pass.

Here's my 65 for comparison-
