1974 Fender Jazz Paint Finish

[Garethw]

Hi guys I was hoping you could shed some light on the paint finish on this beautiful Jazz Bass I've been lucky enough to have aquired. The bass itself is beautiful I was just wondering if you thought it had been refinished as the paint underneath the hardware is DARKER not lighter as you would expect. The bass was cased for most of its life and the fret-ware is light, the binding on the neck is perfect and the same colour as the body (unfaded).The finish is completely seamless between the change in colour and the cracks in the poly run straight through. Thanks in advance for any ideas or thoughts you might have on it.
