Beautiful! I’m not too clear on 65 as transition year. Was it still clay dots and nitro at this stage?

Leo Fender have a batch of testing bass with paduak between 65/66

 

My bad eyes cant tell with provided pictures.

Would be perfect to have clear one to observe the color and grain

My 66 jazz has a padouk fretboard. The neck is dated July 65, as apparently many of them are. 

 

This seems like rosewood indeed. Very nice bass.

Yeah, it's defo rosewood and grain and dark colour look very much like Brazilian. Paduak's usually a dark red kinda colour
