given the watermark on the pics, I'm guessing it's an asian Jazz copy, but yeah, have to see more - front and back of headstock at least. Interesting color, unusual.

It's counterfeit, cheap made in Asia knockoff. Dishonest to sell it as a Fender. Might be a decent bass for the price, but the fact that the seller is misrepresenting it probably means the price is too high for what it is.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

It could be a good player, and at the current exchange rates, it's the same price as a used Fender Standard Jazz (not counting shipping, of course). But the lack of truthiness would make me only, and I mean "only", want it if I could try it out in-person. (Plus, I have no idea whatsoever what an MIM Fender Standard goes for in Turkey anyway, so I can't speak to the cost differential) And even if I liked it, the first thing I would do is sand off that logo. I may love my Squiers and Fenders equally, but I won't be going out pretending what I have is a Fender when it patently is not.

I agree, I wrote something similar, but decided not to post it for fear of another one of "those" types of thread derail discussions (on the morality of dealing with them at all). :)

It's about 700 to 750$ for a second hand MIM Fender Standart Jazz here in Turkey right now.
