Lewk Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 hi guys, im just wandering if this is real or fake... its a fiesta red gold adonised scratchplate p bass.. 50's reissue i believe? i bought it a while ago fairly cheap.. and im thinking of selling it but wanted to get serial numbers.. there is some faint stuff. but im not a fender buff so id thought id see if you guys could shed any light the neck back plate is blank.. thanks in advance Quote
HowieBass Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I think that's a licensed Fender copy Mighty Mite neck that someone's put their own hardware and badly placed transfer on. Quote
Lewk Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 thanks guys. so whats your veridct and whats it worth? Quote

bumnote Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1410985266' post='2555392'] '50s reissue wouldn't have trussrod access at the headstock. Looks like the access route is present on that headstock. Not sure about the black over-spray in the pocket, or the weird white filler material, either. [/quote] I have a MIM classic 50 re issue and the truss rod acces is on the headstock end as this one has. If you look on the fender web site you will see a picture Edited September 17, 2014 by bumnote Quote
cocco Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Mighty might necks are pretty good to be fair, I have a restless one that's really really lovely. Quote

Spike Vincent Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Mighty Mite necks are indeed very nice high end aftermarket products and approved by Fender. Quote
gjones Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) There should be a mex serial number on the back of the headstock if it's Fender. Edited September 23, 2014 by gjones Quote
xilddx Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 [quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1410986155' post='2555405'] +1 you can see the MM stamp on the neck heel. [/quote] And LIC BY FENDER stamped on it Quote
Subbeh Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 So is the body genuine or is it a bitsa with a good neck? Quote
