So I went there on a friday after class, go into the basement, open the first case and look at the headstock: FENDER.
at first sight, I tought it was a copy (the previous owner was from Vietnam, So I was suspicious). After Few checks, I was defenitely chocked.
I directly told her that it worths a lot of money. It was the oldest bass I've ever seen! the other case contains a nice Aria pro 2 VPB 400, really nice but with a defect knob. after a little discussion with her mother, she said: "you take these two guitars now for 200€ okay?"
after one minute, I said that I have to go get some cash and she said: "don't worry, pay my daughter when you want!"
Monday, the girl told that the price changed... at 150, because the mother have seen my passion of music and instruments.

You need to do something special for your friend. The bass would need to be evaluated by a Fender appraiser to get a precise value but your range is probably $8,000 - $11,000 USD. My hunch is that it is worth even more in the Belgian market. Gruhn has a 1965 Jazz that has been refinished listed for $9,500 USD.
Does your friend not have 5 minutes and an internet connection? And how was this bass left at a house in the first place? This is a once in a lifetime series of events. You won the lottery
