Hi everyone, long time Fender lover and brand new to the forum! It's great to join such an awesome community dedicated to the instruments we all love! I have what appears to be a golden opportunity to purchase a Fender Jazz Deluxe 5 string bass from a local seller for (gulp) $150 with a hardshell case. Man, I'm giddy!!! However, the serial number doesn't appear to jive with the info I've been able to find. I thought the Mexican made serial numbers were MN followed by 6 digits, but this Jazz bass has MN followed by 8 digits (MN9372495l). Do you guys think it's legit? At $150 it's clear the guy isn't trying to get rich, but I'm worried he may have a forgery and not know it. Is there any reasonable explanation for this serial number? Thanks for any help you can give me!

For $150 these days I almost wouldn't care if it was an imitation Jazz bass.
How does the bass set up and feel when you play it?
If its average or better, then you have gotten a good deal!
