what does it say on the headstock? Fender used to make a jazz bass with those specs

That reads like the specs of the Korean-made Fender Jazz 24, except that it was made from 2005 to 2008-ish & then resurrected as an Indo-made Bass from 2010-12.

Pictures always help...

Sounds like the Jazz 24 to me too.
When was this revived as a Indonesian-made instrument? I don't remember that...

It pulls up with several articles here, and google as the Fender Jazz 24. Ebay still has them for sale in black with the full original description.
