Did you look into the s/n?

Of course fake. Barely worth the question, but I appreciate the public service of raising the topic.

People suck.

 

[tindrum]

Wow not only fake but a comically bad relic job. Total garbage.

Nothing on that bass looks right. Not even the strap.

Hahaha, I agree. Even the strap looks fake!

Wow guys, I am not as knowledgeable as I thought. As I public service what do you guys see wrong? Off the top of my head the head stock decal doesn't seem right for the year, the relic job is horrible and the pick up cavities are sloppy. If this wasn't brought to my attention I likely wouldn't have caught it. Thanks.

Can anybody post the pics? I can't get to Ebay from work...

Fake or not it's not worth half that.

Rub-on lettering from Michael's... haha!

Did you at least report it? The sad thing is looking at the shop it looks like they are an estate/antique shop and might not even realize that it’s a fake.

The truss rod groove in the headstock - from what I have seen they either have a hollow plastic sleeve, a "bullet" adjustment that protrudes, etc. - but not raw wood. The not so rounded edges of the neck and neck pocket. No skunk stripe (not all Fenders have them, but most production models do unless they are a 60's reissue). The shape of the pickguard is off (too angular in spots). Pickup routs/cavities in body and pickguard are off. I'm only counting 9 screws holding the pickguard on, there are usually 10.

The only guarantee one ever gets in life.

Other than the most obvious thing...the paint job...what stood out to me is the headstock decal. It's out of place. then the $15 tuners were the next thing. Then a closer look I could tell the body is the wrong shape as well as the pickguard. It's all just off.
