Can this be for real?

[Turock]

Thanks for your replies, it seemed too good to be true. I think your right about MIM. Do the MIM Basses always have an MZxxxxxxx serial number?

No, not always MZ, depends on the year. The 90s model have MN for example. However, they should have M-something.

Something about the saddle location on the g string is off..... The intonation has to be way off....

Are you saying that they did or they didn't... because they did.

You pointed out that some MIA Fenders had the access at the headstock and I was just saying not on the US Standard line. The only time the Standard line ever had the headstock access was a little while in the early 80's. Before and after that it has always been at the heel. There are special MIA models that might have it there but not the standard line.

I think our friend in Quebec will say this do not worth the price

You're saying that the US Standard line did, and did not, have headstock access?

Regardless of what country it's made in, I'd call that more than a "small chip".

I call bs on this one. Mine look just like that and I do my intonation myself because its part of my job.

That said, It has the mexi neck. I would not get that.....

 

[LarryO]

I actually texted him to see if he can provide a serial number.

Call it what you want... That's not normal....

 

[crashonskis]

Dont get this one but a second bass is great. I have one in standard and one in D standard.

 

[KevInDaBassment]

Well apparently the guy can't figure out how to string a bass up properly...

He doesn't show the back of the body, but I thought MIAs were string through. And his garage is a mess...

 

[johnk_10]

it's definitely not made in USA.
....and i like how he calls that 'chip' a small one.

No, they are not all string through. Depends on the year.

 

[jarrydee]

not real, I am looking at mine right now and under the FENDER it will say in small letters "made in USA" Also the truss rod adj. is at the body!

 

[Turock]

Also the truss rod adj. is at the body!

Not always.
