Standard Fender Jazz Bass for 1200 dollars in a store?

Could that be a MIJ bass? In other stores MIA basses are more expansive and they don't sell MIM basses.

MF sells the American Standard Jazz for $1299 so $1200 is only $99 less. It's probably MIA. Did you happen to see a serial number?

"Standard" is MIM
"American Standard" is obviously MIA. but $1200 sounds right for the ones I've seen here.

I really don't believe any US stores are stocking standard Japan Fenders.

how can you tell the difference ?
