Help! Real or fake?

[Bashke81]

Hey
I am new member and also a bass rookie.
I am not a Fender expert either and I need your help on this one.
From the attached photos, could you please determine whether this Jazz Bass is a real or a fake?
Thanks in advance

Jazz Bass is a real or a fake?

That is a real Highway One Jazz Bass Part Nr: 011-1460-300.

 

[Bashke81]

Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.
Now I’m kinda relieved I guess it’s a good one to own. As I said, I’m not an expert at all.

I believe that is a 2007 USA Highway One (not "1"!). Nitrocellulose finish, Badass bridge, Graphite support rods. IMHO, a very nice bass!
If I still had mine, I'd never sell it. SOLD - Price Drop! 2006 USA Highway One Jazz Bass / Fralins, Hipshot, Badass

Thank you for the reply. It does play very nice and feels great as well in hands. 2007, so I guess it’s a vintage.

Vintage???

Haha my bad. Pls ignore that part

In one of the definitions for the use of the word it is vintage 2007.

Here’s my 2007 Highway One Jazz Bass, sans the pickguard. It’s an absolute keeper. I did upgrade the pickups with Seymour Duncan Antiquity II’s.

(I removed the pickguard to annoy a bandmate who didn’t like Jaco.)

It's a little bit old. Actually, I have socks older than that.

Nice bass, glad it's real! Whenever I see/hear about someone putting a fake Fender decal on a bass I think about threads like this.

Looks real to me. And it's gorgeous, congrats. But I voted Fake because it's an important ritual. But that seems to be real.

None of the screws seem to have never had any stress upon them except for the tuner screws. All of them look like they've been worked with a screwdriver numerous times.

The bass overall seems legit, I just noticed that one thing.

I have noticed that as well. However it’s a minor thing so I decided to purchase it anyways

If it feels right and plays well, congrats. Seems like a good purchase.
