I just recently had a Jazz bass custom made for me. The price seemed pretty cheap and the bass turned out to be than I expected. It has a flat black finish, active EMG pick-ups, black tuners, a checkered pick guard, black nobs, a stock neck, and a stock bridge. When I asked him how he was able to do it at such a low price I come to find out that he used a CHARVEL body. I know that CHARVEL is owned by Fender but does this mean that this particular bass can officially be called a Fender?

Using that reasoning, I guess you could officially call a Buick a Chevrolet as they are both made by GM.
