I recently came across a what appears to be a Fender American Jazz Bass. It is said to be made in 1989, but I'm having trouble tracing the serial number. It reads "E 95882" on the headstock and "MADE IN U.S.A." According to various reads on Fender's serial numbers, most bass's are known to have 6 digits after a letter, but mine clearly only has 5. Can anyone help clear this up? Is my bass a fake??

Only one thing I can say. I wouldn't go as far as to say that your bass is a fake but possibly someone botched the serial number? Or was it refinished in any way shape or form to cover the serial number so that it would have to be replaced? With 1989 instruments you should be facing a serial number with an E8 or E9 preceding your 5-number serial combination. If you can find an instrument specialist to verify something like this in your area to certify that it is a real instrument I will because if someone knows what they are doing they could let you know and protect the value (hopefully) of your bass rather than having other people assume it's a fake if ever you would try to sell it in the future because of this small problem.
