Faux-dera!

crap! I was afraid of that!!!!:crying:

There are a bunch of companies that copy a Fender bass, reshape the headstock a bit and call it a 'Brand X Vintage' model.

David is good friends with the bass player (Rodrigo Cardenas) and showed him his new bass ...the guy liked it so much he decided to play almost the whole show with it (some songs required fretless ;) ). The photo is a little blurry, but here's Rodrigo:
