I have a American Deluxe P-Bass and it says "Made in USA" on the back of the headstock, under the Serial Numbers, I've haven't seen one with "Made in USA" under the Fender logo, but Fender has may variations ,, as a side note the Fender logo is in the spaghetti format and it is in silver, and there are two different preamps, one was powered by one 9 volt battery and another was powered with two 9 volt batteries

Initially, Fender used the same Decal on the headstock of both American Standard and American Deluxe basses starting in 1995. Then, at some point in time, they went to the Chrome Headstock logo on USA Deluxe models and moved the made in USA to the back, so if it's on front, it's probably one of the earlier USA deluxe models.
