Yeah, the truss rod adjustment at the headstock is suspicious, and then add that there's no walnut plug around it, and those tiny little tuners.

Funny though, OP has quite a few ridiculously expensive and collectible basses, and he ends up gushing over this counterfeit one.

No, "he" didn't. "He" played a neat bass, that sounded, and looked great. But FELT a little "off." Instead of jumping the gun, in order to help someone out, "he" asked a question. Then... it became this big 'ol thang.
I'm over it.
But... Once again...
Thank you all.

Alright, Guys...
First things first. A huge "THANK YOU", to all who helped Me NOT buy that bass. Especially Ashtray, who noticed the MOST obvious, tell tale sign, that I still can't believe got passed me.
Second... I had no intention of responding to this thread, anymore. But...
Third, and LASTLY... Somehow... before I had the opportunity to stop by my bank, and redeposit this money that has been "hanging out", in my front pocket... THIS falls into my Lap. A 1/1, Moniker, Zuma, bass. I didn't have one, two hours ago. Pretty darn MINTY, with the exception of the missing pearl cap, on the tone knob.

Really didn't NEED it. But, yeah... what the heck... I'm that Guy.

Again... thanks, HONESTLY.

No thanks. I knew it was a fake as soon as I saw the pics.

And... Yes... it WAS driving me insane. It's a really nice instrument, for a FAKE.

I could have forgotten about it, by now. If... YOU didn't keep mentioning it.

Are you having a conversation with yourself now? You just quoted yourself. Maybe you really are insane!
