[quote name='bassaussie' post='1205673' date='Apr 20 2011, 01:01 PM']I've seen this before, and I think it's to do with being a black headstock. Fender had their standard transfers which they used, and they had black text, and obviously that wouldn't show up on the black background. Knowing what Fender were like in those days, I'd assume they couldn't see the point of going to the extra expense of creating alternative transfers for a few custom colour instruments.[/quote] I had the same concerns when I purchased this bass. Since then I've seen only a few black MHS but they all featured the shortened decal. All other custom colour MHS had the full decal. One trustful reference might be the book "The Fender Bass" from Black & Molinaro - they show on page 56 a copy of the Jazz bass Ad in the 1970 Fender catalog. It is a Black JB with black MHS where you can see the same transfer layout like on my 63JB.

Still available !

Up for sale is my wonderful, MINT condition [b][size=5]Mike Lull M5V[/size][/b] Not a single mark on it except of some slap wear on the pickguard - even the protection foils on the electronics covers were intact before I shot the pics today. Very low action, deeeeep and huge B string. Perfectly balanced on the strap. Wonderful satin finished neck. Seymour Duncan Pups in 60 s positions, Aguilar OBP-3 preamp, 35" scale. This bass has a vey nice 60s vibe on a 5-string. Original, very reliable Lull (ProTec) lightcase included. There is also a black pickguard included - I preferred the Tortoise guard. Fresh DR MM Sig strings installed. Bass is located in Germany / Duesseldorf. Shipping to UK is about 70 GBP. Asking 1.750 GBP plus shipping.
