Anybody know what kind of Fender this is?

Pretty sure it's a Jazz Bass.

 

Well, you asked. You didn't ask what year.

 

Have you tried asking Fender?

 

For my purposes, a Jazz body's a Jazz body, and I don't give a rat's ass when (or even to a degree, where) it was made as long as it's solid and the bolt (screw?) holes line up. It's string-thru, so that tells me it's probably an American Standard body (or any of the others that are also string-thru, haha!).

 

Looks like a ash/blonde body post 1995, Bridge post 2008, neckplate post 1998.
Neck stamps are 1980, but no bullet, strange logo and the blocks are too narrow/small.

 

Neck appears to be a faker, regardless of the "almost accurate" stamps. Not a Fender neck. Their ink stamps didn't look like that, and an '80 wouldn't have a hex truss nut. There's no taper at the nut end, leaving the nut slammed hard against the curve up toward the E tuner. Decal is wrong. Tuners wrong, bridge, basically everything.

 

sorta hijacking the thread but what's the deal putting a fender logo on non-fender necks? I've used plenty of mighty mite and warmoth necks and felt like the blank headstock just made the instrument more mysterious

 

Neck plate is irrelevant since they’re obtained more easily than the fake headstock decal.

where is the neck pocket photo? Looks like an import body of some kind to me at first glance. Multi piece body and poly finish. Need to see at least the neck pocket and preferably also under the pickguard to help more

 

That body is a modern AM STD isn't it? Could be as old as 2008 and as new as 2016. What pickups are in there?

 

Fretboard block inlays are shorter than REAL Fenders. Blocks should be as high as the E string.

Fake!

 

4 string?

 

Highway Ones came in blonde, didnt they?

 

Ferrules are a little out of alignment on the back too. Odd for a Fender?

 

Yes, this is the Good Place

 

Unless it was edited, the OP stated from the get go that it's not a Fender neck.

That said, I'd love to see any markings in the neck pocket or under the pickguard. All of my Fenders, old and new, have useful info there.

As stated earlier, the neck plate is cheap and and easy to change, so it's little help. I like F neck plates and have installed them on my MIMs. They're about $10 on Amazon.

 

Some people like it.

 

Provenance aside, it's a nice looking bass. How does it feel/play/sound?

 

Must have been edited out. The current text implies it's a neck craft by Herbie in the Fender Custom Shop.
