After about 14 months in the luthiers possession, it's finally finished! I ended up going with Sonic Blue with a mint green replica pickguard. The luthier did an amazing job on both the refin and correcting the shape of the body (it had it's bottom sawn straight I suspect at some point in the...

Gotcha, thanks - I'll check that seller out.

Hey guys, I'm int he process of restoring a 1963 jazz bass, and am look to source a 1963 accurate decal for the headstock. Would anyone know where I could go about finding one? Cheers

Nice looking bass! Thanks a lot for including the photos, it's really helpful. Although the neck cavity in mine looks quite different, it has remnants of white in the corners of the cavity, which is what I can see on yours also. This makes me more confident that it was originally Olympic White...

Yeah I might end up doing that. Thanks.

Okay I'll have a look in the pickup cavities. Yeah it's not the original pickguard - think it may be a 70's one.

I mean I'm trying to restore it to its former glory, so really whatever it was originally, if i can get a good read on that. In saying that, I think Olympic White would look the best.

When I got my hands on it the neck had already been recoated and a new period correct decal had been put on. So at some point someone stripped the headstock.

Hey TB, Looking for help identifying the original finish of this 1963 Jazz bass i'm in the process of restoring (I'm about to get it refinished). The story is that both the neck (including headstock) and body were stripped at some point in it's life. As the headstock was also stripped, I...

Oh wow - was it a six string that Stephen Stills was playing? I know that Bob1 of Devo has at least 1-2 six string La Baye's, and reportedly has a long scale bass as well. I initially thought that there was only 1-2 long scale La Baye basses out there but I've seen more than 1-2 examples of...

It happened ;-)

Hi Mike, Great to hear! Yes I am still on the hunt for one - I’ll PM you. Thanks, Darcy

Hey TB, First time posting here, so please let me know if this is not where I should be positing this. I'm in search of the elusive La Baye 2x4 bass (preferably longscale, but would also be interested in a shortscale). So I'm just putting the feelers out there to see if anyone knows anyone...

I'm in search of one of the original La Bayne 2x4 babies. May be like finding a needle in a haystack, but I'm determined to get my hands on one and willing to pay good $$$. Please hit me up if you know of where any of them ended up.
