Hi all,

Hoping that some of you fender sleuths can take a look at something for me. I'm living in South Korea. I've heard some stuff about imitation basses and guitars being made in Korea/China. I'm going to be taking a look at an American Deluxe Jazz Bass, so I want to make sure it's not a fake. You will have to sign into facebook to look at the pics: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 982&type=1

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you can't open the link, then let me know.

If that is a knockoff, it is an amazing one! I'd say it is correct and the real deal. Even the serial decal placement is right. Tuners, bridge, pickups, truss rod pickguard routing...everything looks right. I did notice someone put a thumbrest on it for a while in an unconventional spot. I'd use that as a bargaining chip to negotiate a lower price, but from 10 feet away nobody will ever see it. Nice basses.

Perhaps you're talking about the Korean-made Haseesa 4-string Standard Jazz Bass. It's styled after the original US Deluxe Jazz except it got passive electronics, Wilkinson bridge/tuners and a 22-fret tuxedo neck with binding and blocks.

The folks at Haseesa Custom Guitars done a nice job with this American Deluxe knock-off.
