Shaddy Looking "1963" Jazz on Ebay

This looks interesting, this Fender jazz has 8x,xxx serial number (which is 1963 era), but the neck looks late 60s/70s with the plastic sides, but has a very poorly done inlay job...has a strange looking green decal ive never seen (also the "jazz bass" looks arc'd more than usual) and the bridge doesnt look original...hmm

The first scratch/dent is always tough, but every one after that is added mojo.

I thought the bridge pickup was part of the bridge until it it took me a few seconds to figure it out. What a hack bass. Nice firewood.

I don't think it'll work well as firewood. The body is probably plywood. More glue than wood. Glue doesn't burn that well...

Nope. Looks to be a cheap Japanese copy from the 60's/70's

It looks like one it may be one of those awful Vietnam era Philippine made copies. Worthless junk.

He doesn't seem to be having any luck with his framed Calvin and Hobbes Daily Comic Strip Artwork either.
