Fender Jazz Bass 75 Mexico. Real?

[Jerzunia]

Dear Friends! Please tell me if You know. This jazz bass is real Fender made in Mexico or fake?
Serial number is correct. Made in Maxico 2009r.

A couple of your images are of a different bass. This one is a 5 string:

These two have different serials:

And this logo looks wrong af:

I'm gonna say "rebranded Squier" on the above pic.

...But let's wait for the experts to chime in.

Incorrect decal, incorrect serial number decal, bridge cover mounted by a 5 yr old everything about this is shady. As Bodeanly stated above I would tend to agree somebody rebranded it to look that way. The MZ949 serial number decal would be the correct decal.

Were any MIM Fenders (apart from the 90's era Squier Series) made from plywood? The shaky pencil writing on the neck and in the pocket look amateurish to me, though I'm no expert.

On another note, I've often seen it said that "nobody fakes a made in Mexico Fender," but I think this one might be evidence to the contrary.

The remaining picture of the serial is not from Fender. It's a forgery. I stand by my original "rebranded Squier" assessment.

There is nothing Fender on that bass. Total fake.

 

[Jerzunia]

So, Squier? Maybe China?

 

[Midak]

Fake.

 

[MonetBass]

More likely a parts bass.

 

[Obese Chess]

Parts bass. Maybe Squier.

Absolutely NOT a Fender.

Fakey McFakeface

OK, I'll say it...

Why would someone bother to fake a Mexican Fender?

Clearly, someone did, but why?

They are clearly the Diet Coke of evil

It might be one of the DH Gate, ALieexpress, or Tradetang basses.

So, Squier? Maybe China?

I don't think it's even a squier. I believe a squier block/bound neck should have a plastic or walnut fill around the truss rod access hole if it's a headstock adjust, a walnut plug if it's heel adjust. Like the one here.

Actually looks like three different basses - 2 different 4-string heads with different serial numbers, and then the back shot of the 5-string active bass with battery cover.
