It has a serial number behind the Headstock saying z5019820
The logo is a Fender Jazz Bass '70s style without usa made ​​Fender Jazz Bass only
On the plate of the neck says corona california
Does anyone know this kind of jazz bass
Thanks for helpers

Sunburst does not appear to be USA quality.
Tuning machines look like the Chinese/Indonesian ones.
Logo looks funny.

Looks like someone put a Fender decal on a cheap copy.

At first I thought HWY1, but not with that finish. Agree it doesn't look right.
Tuners look cheap too, as does the string tree.

The serial number comes back as good though.

I would pass.

And I just noticed the two extra screws on the bridge.

string tree looks like its in the wrong place.

The neck is not bound either. Only some CS and Jags came like that. Gotta be a fake!

 

[sockmonkee]

How does it play?

i dont know yet ..

 

[Juan Count]

Definitely FAKE... DO NOT BUY!

 

[emilyo]

Of course not
It was my suspicion

The serial number alone gives it away, not the number itself but the font sets off my alarm... something's up alright!

Looks like one of the old SX basses. Has the same bridge and tuners as they do.

Not a Fender, made in the USA or anywhere else.

It's amazing what you can do with waterslide decals and an inkjet printer. If you are going to the trouble of making a counterfit at least do a good job. The angle between the words Jazz and Bass looks wrong. Looks like there is a line of text missing under Fender and at the end of the headstock.

I am no expert, I just looked at a few 70's logos that I googled.

I would give maybe 200 if it played good just to show off while on a shoestring budget, however I would never try to sell it as a Fender that is wrong.

I know a guy from years ago that put a fender Strat logo on a Strat copy and sold it for $600 to one of his students, when the father of the student found out there was hell to pay. $600 was a lot on $$$ in the earily 80's

Did SX ever use a Fender Headstock? Well I gues it could be a cheap e bay neck

Totally fake, paintjob, bridge, string tree, rosewood with block inlays with tort 'guard and sunburst aren't fender.

my MIA Precisions are 8 years apart; 2002 & 2010 and the font is the same. That font in the picture looks funky, odd. Askew?

Defintely a fake.
But if it's only $125-150 doesn't look like too shabby of a bass to keep around.
