Is it real?

It is clearly listed as a Fender.

and can anyone tell me what MPN stands for in the item description box? If it stands for 'Manufacturers Part Number', then this precision has a serial number with a 'T; prefix which I understand is a 'Tribute' model.
I am assuming that if it isn't the real thing then they probably don't know as they have invited prospective bidders to go and have a look at it.

That's not a Tribute series, it's probably a recent MIJ.

I think you're right. T0xxxxx serials are 2007-2010, but the nineties T serials were followed by 6 numbers which could start with any number including a zero.

Hi I managed to get this as the seller was fairly local to me, football was on, not much info on the listing so I took a gamble and got a bargain I think! It's a '94 'made in Japan' virtually mint and super light, plays really well, I gigged it last night and got real compliments on the sound of it. This will be my primary gigging bass for the moment - I've been getting a bit worried about taking my '82 JV out to rowdy pub gigs lately!

Nice one Ash. Always a pleasure to see someone getting a positive result from the 'Bay'

Lucky you. I was gonna stick £300 on it, I'm glad for you that I didn't. Enjoy mate.

Nice one ash. Great buy, man.

Thanks chaps, yes one of those rare ebay bargains - it's got a slightly deeper neck compared to my JVs but much lighter in weight - its a classy bass and I would've happily paid more, these 90s MIJs are well worth scouting for.

You mean it was a genuine bargain? Nice one!
