Without seeing this bass apart I can tell you it looks to be a later 70's Fender Jazzbass thats had its headstock decal altered in some way to make it seem different than what year its realy from.
The "bullet"style truss rod adjuster,Fender 70's scripted tuners and 3 bolt micro-tilt neckplate all are from a later 1970's jazzbass,also the blocks and binding on its neck match up to that time frame too.
The bass may be 100% real Fender with only the decal being altered but the only way to be 100% is to remove the neck from the body and the whats on the end of the neck and stamped onto the neck pocket will tell you exactly what you may or may NOT have.
The plastic volume and tone nobs are also incorrect and not a Fender part,So the only way to be sure is to pull the bass apart to be sure,why would someone purposefully alter a decal other than to misrepresent what it is for selling reasons(earlier models are worth much more money)BUT some people for vanity reasons alone will change the decal to make it look American made or Japanese made so its unclear why it was done untill you know what you actually have for sure .
Take it apart and post the pics,we will be glad to help. :mrgreen:
