I love the colour of this, what are your thoughts?

I think that's the least-credible wear pattern I've ever seen on a 50-year-old bass.

Doesn't look real.

Maybe it [i]might [/i]be that old but it's a very poor relic job done on it :-|

I would be wary, although I suppose that you need to consider that the wear is not from fifty years of playing, as it has been refinished a few times.

It's difficult to be sure by just viewing photos. If I was keen, I would be making contact, asking questions and if at that point felt it might be the real thing, then I would see if the seller was willing to let me inspect and play it.

That's a basschatter... I bought a bass from him & he was telling me about his pre-CBS precision & it's neck that's to die for.

He's a top bloke & deal with confidence

[Happy Jack]

Fair enough, but Basschatter or not that is a completely rubbish piece of relic'ing ... looks like 10 seconds with a belt sander for the upper bout, and another 10 seconds with a Dremel multi for the thumbnail wear.

If you want to know what that bass should look like:

Judging by this photo (not on ebay), the wear near the neck is from picks & the upper bout is natural from his playing style, judging by the wear on the jazz:
