Is this bass genuine Fender?

MIM Fender for sure

 

If it's too good to be true, it mostly is. What you've got is a Squier Standard-Series from the mid 1990's, made in Korea. The Serial would be in the front, underneath the logo.

 

A USA bass doesn't have the trussrod adjustment at the headstock. It could be a Mexican Fender (Standard Series), but IIRC, those had laminated bodies, so the contours would have been entirely black, and they had bigger potmeters with black knobs. The body is without a doubt a Squier, the neck could be Fender-Mex, or Squier.

 

That's a 1990. Yours is a 1996. In 1996, they already had the adjustment at the heel (as well as a different logo that does not match your outline).

 

Every Fender/Squier guitar/bass from 1996 got that anniversary sticker ;-)

 

???

 

I'm talking about the 1996 models. Prior to that (late eighties, early nineties) they had, as well as the HW1 Fenders, and ofcourse the seventies Jazz Basses with the bullet-trussrod, as well as some eighties models.

 

Looks like a 1996 mim neck for sure due to the way you can see how the tuners are on the back of the neck have round bottom as most squires from that period had flat square bottom tuner. As for the body if both pickups are the same size as most mim were from that period than it is a mim standard.

 

Looks like an MIM neck (almost certainly) with some other Fender body - te reason I say that is the sunburst is too nice for a MIM of that Era - they weren't bad, but they didn't have that much of a red stage and I'm reasonably certain the neck pickup hole was rectangular on those, not cut to the pickup like that - I would bet that's a Squier body of the same era - well not bet, but guess.

 

Who cares what it us, just PLAAAAAY IIIIITTT !! ..

 

I'm no expert by a long shot but I've seen a lot of MIM jass basses in the last few years and I have never seen one with a painted neck pocket. Maybe a little along the edges but never the bottom of the pocket.

 

Looks Fender to me.

 

The pics didn't open for me,
but for 70 Euros, you can't get hurt too bad.

 

I had a 95 Squier Korean made with the 50th anv sticker on it. Yours looks just like it. My guess is someone was trying to scrub the Squier from it. I sold mine but it was a very nice playing action and the pups sounded great! Go for it if you like it.
Good Luck!
