Greetings!

I have strong suspect that it is a case when a bass guitar marked as "Fender Jazz Bass" is a fake. I think that this website is a good place to check whether it is a genuine product or not.
I am not a professional in musical instruments, and I really have no idea of how else can I check genuineness. Hope that someone will be able to answer my question.

It has got some suspicious marking: "Fender Jazz Bass Grabber" (Fender and Grabber in one title?!) and strange patent numbers. If there are good specialists in Fender products, please, identify this bass guitar as a real Fender or just a fake.
Thanks in advance!

here are some photos where you can read the marking:

The headstock decal is obviously fake (no bass would ever be amrked with both Fender and Gibson trademarks).

Everything is wrong with the pickups, the wiring, etc. The neck looks suspect as well. No way to tell if the body is a fender or not, but at this point it doesn't matter.

Total parts bass with fake ID. Take a pass.

Thank you, Gravity Jim!
I had my doubts about this bass, but I needed some acknowledgment. Now I am even more convinced that it is a fake.
