It does look like a Bullet bass though.

Vice President, Merchandising KMC/FMIC | | | | | nah....it take it back- it doesn't look like a Bullet. Wrong pickup placement.

Also the pickguard on that bass doesn't look right, look at the neck pocket. |

It's a "real" fake one. If you were a backing bassist for Alvin and Chipmunks, it'd be perfect.
