American Special PBass 2015, decal

Hi everyone,

Found an used, 2015 American Special Precision - everything looks authentic to me, apart from the headstock.

It looks like the logo is a waterslide decal.

Wondering if anyone here has an American Special that's around the same year that can confirm Fender actually did use decals like this? There's a couple of pics attached.

Thanks so much!

EDIT: forgot to mention that the serial number shows the exact same bass at Fender's website, and the owner has all the papers/tags etc, including that red "Genuine P Bass" card, with the serial number written.

Anyone? x

Realised i've probably used a very bad title for the thread (making people think it's something else 'decal' related). Just trying to know if it's a fake or authentic Fender - any help is much appreciated!
