oh dear, surely he means "very unlike a 1994 custom shop"?

At least he's not claiming it to be a Fender neck I suppose.

but he is! the ad heading is '[color=#333333][font=Trebuchet,]Fender Jazz Bass neck'[/font][/color]
so I think that constitutes calling it a Fender B)

[/quote] [size=4]You're right, I didn't think it did, I was thinking of his description where he says "....very like custom shop 1994", but yes, he is advertising it as a fender jazz neck. He's even edited it, to say the neckplate is a V0****** serial number, further adding weight to the fact its a real fender American vintage reissue. Quite shocking. surely no-one will be so dumb as to think a fender neck looks like that?[/size]

Hi Rick, Im not dumb but I wouldn't know the first thing about fender necks. How about sharing your knowledge so its more 'common' and I can feel less dumb. thanks.

After a previous thread, I googled how to tell a fake Fender. The conclusion I made is that it's very difficult in some cases. A separate neck is easier as you can see things such as the truss rod which are indicative. Similar for the neck pocket. But I found threads on the Fender forum discussing how difficult it was to tell in some situations.

I wouldn't say its 'my knowledge' that's important here, but a Custom Shop '60's Jazz reissue bass, would have a period correct, flush, crosshead trussrod nut. Not a protruding monstrocity this one has. Google 'fender bass truss rod' on google images, you'll see what I mean. There's other points, but that is so obvious it needs no further evidence to show it's not real.
