Is it just me or does there seem to be a complete inability for people to do any research and identify a genuine Fender before trying to pass off dodgy copies as the genuine article?

Difficult to tell exactly what it is / was, the neck looks like a cheap modern replica, the body possibly an 80's Jap build, the pickups look like Dimarzio's so may be most saleable bit of the bass

I have messaged the seller, let's see if the listing gets changed

Maybe eBay should start paying BC consultation fees for our collective expertise.

Spoke to the lad via message,he said he bought it off e bay as Fender,Said he has changed it now. I did tell him to join here or maybe a facebook forum and ask before he bought if he wasnt sure. I don't suppose we all started as experts lol.

Well, the title doesn't say Fender, but it's still got pictures with the fake Fender logo.
