This is my L series 1965 Fender P bass

 

  • This bass is simple the best P of its age I have ever come across. Not only is is a really good one in terms of aesthetics but its got an incredible action and its super light and resonant. 
  • 3.5 Kg / 7.8 Lbs
  • Everything is original down to the last screw and it's all complete including hard case. The sunburst is bright, the frets are original and in great condition having been on flats its whole life.
  • The fretboard is something else. Gorgeous figured rosewood and there is a bit of flame in the neck.
  • This bass, given its quality could sell for  bit more but think I'm being realistic.
  • It has one chip in the lower horn at the back and flaking of the chrome on one knob. Other than that a few minor dinks and rubs but nothing through the paint. There's a bit of checking on the back of the headstock.

I have two 65/66 jazzes. One has a July 65 neck fitted with padouk fretboard:

it's a bit more orange and swirly than rosewood. Apparently Fender did this a few months in '65 as kind of an experiment.

 

 

Hear you, but I’m pretty confident that it’s Brazilian rosewood. I just took some pictures of the fingerboard in good light. Your Paduk fingerboard is lighter coloured than mine with a different pattern. I'm attaching some Brazilian rosewood reference - of course it varies and there are different types and hues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalbergia_nigra#/media/File:Rio-Palisander,_dunkel_Holz.JPG
