Does this Precision look right?

[Shambo]

It's the headstock decals on this one that don't look right to me... but I'm prepared to be proved wrong.
What do the more knowledgable members of the forum think?

Fake as a fake thing!

Yay! Not just me then.

String tree in the wrong postion, wrong tuners and those knobs look too domed.

Deffo a fake, but I have no suspicion the seller is a scammer, just very unaware of the bass' provenance and is just going by whats on the stock.

Seller says this:

[quote]I don't know where it was made as i bought it off of a friend... It plays well and really looks the part.[/quote]

Which doesn't exactly sound like he thinks it's the real deal.

and he knows little about basses but is planning to get the neck oiled?
How many civilians know about neck oiling?

Perhaps he is an uncle and has a loft!

I asked last night for serial number/country of manufacture - no reply yet......

He has now said that he's been told it's a copy so he's setting the start price at Squier levels.

As for oiling and fret cleaning - he hasn't said he doesn't know about guitars, he's said he doesn't know about bass guitars. Subtle difference.

Oh, all right then

Seems a fairly honest response.
