Is this a real Ultra Precision Bass?

HI All. I'm considering buying a used Ultra Precision bass. This photo shows the back of the headstock. Is that Fender 75 stamp legit? I went to Sweetwater and looked at pics of their Ultra Precisions and they do not have the Fender 75 stamp on the back of the headstock. Any thoughts?

wierd, I looked again at sweetwater. Some of the Ultras have it and some don't.

Anything with the "75" stamp was made in 2021, which was Fender's 75th anniversary, I think. Anything without the stamp is newer or older than that, I would guess. Fender does this a lot - I remember seeing stamps or badges for the 50th anniversary as well. They stamp everything made that year and usually don't do a specific, separate "anniversary" product line.

Yes, you are correct. My 2021 Ultra Jazz that I recently sold had the ‘Fender 75’ stamp on the back of the headstock. I actually think it’s very cool.
