I love those honest Ebay sellers.........

Here we have the Ebay auction.

Here is the same bass a few months ago........

In just 2 months the bass has gone from a fairly rare refinished '67 Maple Cap Jazz with no serial number plate, to an original NAMM (or NAAM as the clueless seller states) that even the great Getty  :rolleyes: Lee would want!  He doesn't mention the refret or 80's pickups or lack of original F plate with serial number.  The black replacement guard is all of a sudden a tort with the "original" gold sparkle thumb rest.....

What a tool.  >:(

Bet that rare Fender maple capped "swamp ash" body is a genuine Warmoth.

"..when was the last time you saw an original Maple Cap neck on a 60's Jazz Bass?). "

I am assuming this means a Maple fretboard opposed to the one piece maple fender necks?  The answer to his question would be   .....um never   :sad:
Digresion our specialty!

There was an even rarer '65 Jazz with the maple cap neck and black dots that went for nearly 6k last year.  I almost did a trade with the original seller of the Jazz back in February but changed my mind.  Just too many unknowns about the bass.  I doubt he'll get anywhere near what he's asking for it.
