Cliff Edge Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 My 72 Natural finish Jazz has these marks. It also has a large red stamp NATURAL in the neck pocket. Natural custom colour code was 151 according to Fender price lists in 1973 and added $18 to the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velarian Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 This video is about a strat but @ 7:02 he talks about the dowel holes for the router. There’s one in the same location as the ‘74 P bass above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this and the stamps in the neck pocket look to be from the factory too. I have seen the same discolouration around the pickup under the pickguard on other natural vintage Fenders. The solder on the pots has clearly been ‘touched up’, which can be a sign of a refinish, but I’m fairly confident this is not the case here. Nice bass and case! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
