    Is this a legit Fender '64 Jazz, and fair price for a refin body?

    Two questions here - Is this a legit Fender '64, and is the price fair? It's a refinished body, supposedly all else is original (pickups rewound by Jason Lollar), and only other info is 9 pounds. Asking price is between $8-9k. I have yet to go see it in person.

    1962 Jazz bass -- 5.4lbs??

    Have you folks ever heard of a Jazz bass weighing this little? I know a lot more about vintage P's and 8.5-9.5 is kinda the range there. Have a 64 and 69 and they're in the same range too. No obvious routing, weighed it twice and 5.4lbs is it. Something up? Rare gem? Feels very strange.

    Repro Fender Ashtray Covers w/ Foam Mutes?

    Are there any aftermarket Fender ashtray covers w/ foam mutes installed available? I put foam under my pre-CBS 60P and 64J all the time but would love to have an "original" style ashtray with foams glued in there. I love the look and the sound of them and it's also cool to get the original design.
