Make a lower offer. Fill the frets yourself - it's not difficult and contrary to popular opinion you don't have to do it with beautifully cut pieces of thin veneer - just use wood filler in your choice of colour! Let it harden and lightly sand it smooth.  It's not a vintage Fender although in fairness I have done this before to vintage Fenders! Pretty sure that's what Jaco did originally to his Jazz Bass.

I did it quite successfully onan Oldfield which I bought solely for this purpose.  As the fretboard was black, I carefully masked the rest of the instrument, and sprayed it with satin black aerosol paint.
