What makes you think you have a '64 and that it's made in Japan? This make NO sense. Pictures would help.
Who or what led you to believe this bass was made in Japan or that it is from 1964?
Darn, ExaltBass beat me to it!

I'm guessing you have a Lxxxxxx serial number and you're confusing the Japanese serial number with the US serial number sequence. You have a '91-'92 Japanese Jazz.
Hard. This place is supposed to foster a friendly, helpful environment. Some people should go to the other forums and see how they like it there.
i Bought it from a local guitar shop and the guy told me that it was from 64' but i doubt that was true but the neck plate is so rusted thet i cant read it so i replaced it...... im get it outta the workshop and try to make it out.
