Is this a fake Jazz bass?

Er du Jonas' lillebror - min gamle elev fra back in the day i Aidt?? (Gregers her)

Sorry for the Danish there, folks... just think the OP may be a former (way back!) student of mine :)

And I concur, that bass has never been a Fender...!

Jep, det' mig! :) kan huske noget mint grøn bas! :)

that's the next question,
What is the drum kit worth?

Well it's a full set with cymbals and all.. so its around 700$. Think the VM squire is around half the price new in Denmark.... guess it's teh_crap deal...
 
As many people here indicated, this bass headstock does not look correct.
The decal is not correct: Spaghetti logo plus Jazz bass?
Looks like someone has seen the Spaghetti and Precision Bass combination and did a bad extrapolation here.
In addition, truss rod access is from the headstock, something Fender added to the Jazz bass in the 70's, but the "bullet" is missing.

I'd stay away from this instrument if you are looking for a real Fender and save your hard earned money.
