Hi

Block inlays and neck binding were standard on Jazz basses starting very early in '66. The first run of '66s had dots and binding but they switched very quickly. Bass looks pretty authentic to me. Have to see the pots, take the pickguard off, etc but from the 3 photos, Id say get some more info if you are interested. The white with the matching headstock make it very rare. Most were sunburst

I wish I had the money to be interested lol. I was just posting out of the sheer beauty of the colour combination w/ blocks.

A little skeptical because of the lack of description and pictures, but if it is real... Also, did the fretboards have block inlays then?

Oh man, I don't care if it is real or not, that is some very high class bass pron right there.....:hyper:

And I do believe that Fender used blocks in 69....but cannot back it up with anything other than my belief....Still, Mother of all Creatures Great and Small! That is one sexy looking bass!

And, FWIW, that neck was made on my 5th birthday! :)
