Is this a refin??

Hey Guys I just picked this up for approval. I think it's a refin. Comments?? Thanks in advance.

And some more photo's

I don't think so. My Jetglo 4001 has natural spots in the same location as your bass.

Besides the wood shavings still in the truss rod cavity. I don't think it is a refin either.

Thanks guys, you're right it's not a refin. I was looking @ Joeys FL photo's taken apart and the paint is the same way. It's a great bass with a nice thin, fast neck. I'm lucky to have it!

Hey Sam, what do you think of it so far?

Were you peeking at pics of my undressed FL?

[basmansam]

It's an AWESOME bass!! Real thin neck almost like a J_zz Bass! Man! I didn't think she would kiss and tell! She's purdy undressed!!

Just a nice aged white finish, complete with shavings!

All original.

The background in that pic ain't too bad, either

Cool fretless Rick. Congrats.

Can you tell whether the binding is white or painted over?

I don't beleive its painted over, the binding is the same aged white as the bass. There is a difference where the binding stops and the body begins.

I saw a fretted 4003 white at Classic Axe a few years ago that was uniform banana-meat color, body and binding. Shows that it's the clear coat that yellows.

I have an '81 4001JG that either has black binding or the binding has been painted over. The varnish is so yellowed I can't tell!

I agree that yours definitely looks like unpainted white binding though, Sam.
