Suspcious Fender near me

[Mr. Foxen]

Wrong knobs, covered belly contour, reckon its not a Fender, woulda been a bargain otherwise:

Didn't last long. I'd have said it looked scrappy but genuine enough. Bit of a clean and it's probably a nice bass!

[Mr. Foxen]

Thinking back, some Mexis had the strat knobs, but the covered contour is usually reserved for block and board/ply basses.

my jazz bass has the same knobs, bought it new in 2000

The covered contour is a bit of a bother.

You'd expect to see it on the front as well, though. Odd.

I like the reason for sale - "in need of being sold for financial pupose". What, instead of for a bucket of fish?

Just like a MIM I bought new back in the day. Nice bass, it was..

I reckon that was genuine. They certainly had strat knobs in the 80s. I used to own a black one with exactly those style knobs.

[budget bassist]

yeah i'd have thought if it wasn't genuine the burst would have been over the front contour too. As people say, they may have come with those knobs, but someone could just have easily have changed them anyway. Looks genuine enough.
