The description is clearly wrong as it's some sort of Fender Vintage series model, but I'm wondering if it's fake. I tried running the serial number through Fender.com to get the exact model but am getting no results. Thoughts?

I'm wondering if it's not labeled correctly and is actually a Fender Mod shop model. There was a mod shop one recently on GC that was a copper color and had this neck. It is the same neck as the AO 60's with the clay dots and reverse vintage tuners. You can order it this way with the mod shop. The color isn't offered with the stock AO 60's so I'm thinking mod shop.

Wouldn't a Mod Shop serial number still "decode" on Fender.com? I'm getting this message when I enter the serial nbr on Fender.com.

From what I understand, the Fender serial number lookup isn't always reliable. Sometimes, you have to email Fender support.

I entered it on one of the other sites and it came up with this, although this could be generic based on some of the digits.

I don't see why someone would go to the trouble of making a fake like this. It has clay dots which would be difficult. Maybe try to email Fender support if you're interested in it?
 
Roscoe custom classic jazz 4 (which I think is also routed for a jazz in the neck as well, but don’t quote me) down to $1459. I have no need for it, but that’s a good price. They can be heavy though.

Now down to $1309...

Down to $1309. I'd be all over it if I didn't already have literally the exact same bass in White. Somebody needs to jump on this right now. Looks like it has Aguilar pickups. If it had Honey Badgers I would have bought it just for the pickups!
