I often ask advice here, sometimes by PM to certain people as I like the vintage fenders , there’s some knowledgeable and helpful people here ,I’ve met quite a few, and also they might see something that I’ve missed, which is easily done
Not sure if you’ve seen it but will at Bassbros has got a 60th Anniversary Road Worn ’60s Jazz Bass in Firemist Silver , I’m not trying to spend your money 😁, I was just browsing basses as usual
Recently listed on reverb and serious money, but I don’t think I’ve seen a 63 precision in such good condition and all original, really low action too, if this was in London I’d be tempted to have a look

Have you seen this one , (nothing to do with me), if someone did the body for you it wouldn’t be far away from your picture

Nice, I don’t remember mine being heavy but to be honest I don’t take much notice of weights, great jazz for the price and maybe you could get someone to relic one for you if you’re after that look, this was mine
Slightly deeper from front to back than a standard jazz , but quite comfortable, very similar to a 70s RI jazz I had, the pots are really good and at first took me a while to get used to, even though there’s only 2 there’s quite a variety of tones
I’ve had the flea bass and they are a really great jazz to play, I also like the concentric pots, but as has been mentioned you don’t know how the body wood has been matched underneath , which might be a problem with the natural finish
