Regarding a possible refinish……
Normally I can spot them easily but this paint finish is very good. Also, I’ve seen an almost identical one recently in the same gloss white finish, from the same era.
What I do know is that the bass started out red. Whether it was then deemed “a second” and resprayed white in the factory I’m not sure. Leo fender certainly did this during the time he ran Fender, maybe when he ran G & L also.
Anyway, I’m pricing it as if it has been refinished.
I’ve just set it up with a low action and it plays very well. The active system on these basses is incredibly powerful, but you can also just play it in passive.
The case is original and generally in good order except its feet have been lost on the lower edge.
