I wouldn't be surprised if it is real. Looks like it's from the era of "Lytes" and "Plus" basses. Fender tried some funky designs in the 90s.

It's real. I don't remember the series, but I do see them come up for sale every once in a while.

Definitely real, those are actually pretty killer basses, and at that price it'd make a great platform to put some killer pickups/preamp in.

That's an MB-V I believe,
I have a friend who owns an MB-IV with the only difference (other then the strings) being that it has p/j pickups rather then a j/j configuration.

Yep - They did a squier version that was decent, but those earlier Japanese models were very nice

Yep. I owned one. MIJ with very tight string spacing. I bought it used for $300 from a shop and sold it awhile later for $400 on CL.
