Hi,
I bought this beauty November 2012.
As far as I can tell it is very close to, if not all original.
Who cares....it's a great bass!
I made a little 45 seconds video with pictures of the bass.
The soundtrack includes the Jazz too.
Hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_KI_HyvoNg 
Have a nice day,
Mich

1966 was the year of the B&B introduction.

The back is showing some (nice) wear too. Love the nitro-finish!

There is quite some fretbuzz too from the 15th fret and up and the neckpocket is not a perfect fit.
The body is very lightweight, causing some neckdive.
The pots are cracking a bit.
So, the bass has been used is showing it's age and is far from a perfect built.
However...the sound and playabilty (usually I don't get anywhere near the 15th fret) are fantastic!
And for others maybe not a big deal, but I just love to own a piece of history.
