You bought this for 150 Euros? Seriously 
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

Here is the whole story if you want to know:
the girl told me at school that there were two cases in the basement of her new house. "Can you pass and check what it's all about?"
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.
