it is hard for me to ever pass up a 1964 Jazz bass. Those seem like the best ones to me. This one has a very nice dark rosewood fingerboard with clay dots. The weight with the covers off is 8 1/2 pounds also known as 8 pounds, 8 ounces on the digital. The bass is all original with plenty of buckle wear on the back, not so much on the front. I sold this bass 11 years ago and the buyer was nice enough to contact me last month when he retired from his dixie jazz band. It is nice to see it again.
