Fender P - real or fake

[Mellow Yellow]

I have borrowed this bass from a friend but suspect its not the real deal. I can't find a serial number. Sounds good. 

What do you think? 

Thanks

You suspect correctly!

I had one of the MIM so called "black label" precisions and it looks quite a bit different to my eyes.

Fake. The logo says enough, doesnt exist with that truss rod at the headstock.

I share some more photos and information with Mark at classic and cool guitars, as he made me a limelight precision bass. 

Checked pots and cavity plus bridge. Cheap copy with fender logo does not make it real 😜

Fine for a rehearsal room spare.

Neither Fender nor Squier. 

The body edge radius is wrong. The shape of the headstock near the E string tuner is both wrong and distinctive. This might provide a clue as to the original make and model.
