What's the verdict on this then?

Dunno, it's a lot to pay for a body. I'd like to see proof of its authenticity/age of the body though.

Yes it is, and the replica logo is inaccurate.

See I never get this bitsa thing. There was a 70's P on here not long back, probably the worst example of bitsa I've seen. 71 stamped neck, body dated to 76, not original pots or pups yet out at £1200+.
To me, that is a bitsa and frankly I would rather spend half that on a modern well made bass that I do not have to worry about provenance/being made a tit off.
I do that very well myself.
