It says it is a prototype.
Please speak if you have knowedge of this rare creature.
I am not isterested in if you think it is ugly or whatever. I am trying to determine if Fender actually produced this and oher prototype basses. Is there any way to really know?
Thanks!

Never heard of any such bass myself. There is a hilarious thread about this instrument over at talkbass. Someone even called it the Lochness Monster of basses and posted this photo:

Apparently someone went to a lot of trouble to make a CBS era period correct decal reading Fender Strato Bass. CBS was never this creative, so I'm tending to think it is a one-off custom made bass that turned out ok but is not in reality a Fender prototype. Just my opinion.
