Hello,

I found a fender precision bass but i can't identify it. Can somebody seen something like this before? Is this real fender usa or just a copy?

Looks like a MIM P deluxe with a fake sticker (or different neck as the sticker looks pretty real) or plain ol P with an added J. There are many, including probably yourself, that know much more than me about these things. Plugged in for curiosity.

If the last link is correct, it means that its a made in Poland bass. The auction says that it was made in usa tugh, but I think he wrote it to make it more expensive.

Does the tuners has presto mark ? If yes this is the same bass. And that means you play a MIP bass which i lofve ypieeeeee !

The owner said that he changed the pots to the Polish ones (prolly a telpod ones). Two knobs came from Defil, and the pickups are probably presto too. Dont see a zero fret, so i think the neck is not a defil one. As said may be a parts bass, but I think made mostly in poland
