Is this legitimate fender ?

I don't think so, but I'd like to ask you!

I don't like the headstock, colour, electronics, pickup (shouldn't be Noiseless J there?) ... simply I think this is fake.

It looks nothing like Deluxe Active Special series, but it's older (2000-2001).

Can anybody confirm?

It sure looks fine to me.

I doubt someone would bother copying a mexican fender.

Looks like a real MIM P Deluxe to me.

Could easily be a Squier Standard P-Bass with a waterslide.

looks real to me

Look at the strings angles between the nut and tunning pegs. Never seen so weird angles - they should go straight from the nut to the pegs (on some Pbass I've seen slight problems with E)

Could anybody post any pics of MIM P Deluxe from their "three knob - passive period"?

Also it's 9-10 years old, looks brand new...

Real or not, it is one fine looking bass.

Looks real to me. I've got a black one that looks like that.
