Unless you don't like how it sounds,or it looks like an awesome bass.

| | | | those cracks are not a concern, I agree with the others.
In my first band I started on the Hohner J Bass FL "professional.' Fretless Jazz copy, ebanol fretboard. I loved it, and miss it, though probably for sentimental reasons. I bought it about 93 or so. The bass you have was the other Hohner I was looking at. I think it sold for about $450 or so.
I thought it was a good bass, liked it enough to keep if for a while. Liked it much better than all the Fender's that were in the store at the time.
String it up, see how it plays. If not, I doubt any of the parts are fender spec.....

| | | | Hohner is a well regarded Japanese "clone" brand -- on par with Fernandes, Tokai, and some of the others. I concur with keep it as is. |
