Fake?

That is one of the worst copies I have seen hahahaha I didn't seen anyone mentioning but the bridge is also off, they don't add those 2 extra screws, that is a cheap bridge used by Sire for example (nothing against Sire),
But from the headstock to the strap, it is a very very cheap copy, report it, please.

Everyone who's looked at it here should report it as a fake. It helps make sure some poor sap doesn't get ripped off in the near future.
This is one of the WORST fakes I've ever seen.

If it was 100% real, the weird relic job would have devalued the bass significantly. The fact that it’s a fake along with the goofy relic job really kills any value. It’s worth whatever the lower quality parts would bring individually, which is a fairly small fraction of the outrageously high posted price.
It's a Squier from 2006 but they rebranded it a Fender in 2007.

Why even ask? Seriously, what's the point of posting this?

Sold for $1150. I'm in the wrong job.
I think that's a Squier Affinity. I say that because of the truss rod access hole being left plain maple. It would be nice to know the body thickness.

Sold? Listings now says: " This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available. "
In the completed listings it does not indicate sold. If it sold, which I doubt, it was outside eBay.
It's real and it's spectacular.
Educate us on what to look out for on a fake
Yeah, well, I don't do eBay because it's a toilet. A hive of scum and villainy. So I'm really not familiar with their terminology or page layout.
It didn't sell on eBay. Someone flagged it and they yanked it from eBay. They would have had to return the money when the buyer found out how bad it was.
Grub-hole truss adjustment access is ALWAYS a giveaway. First thing you should look at when asking if a Fender is real or not.
