So I found this bass on a website and the guy that is selling it say that it's a fender and ask 250 for it, I am not sure that it's a fender so do any of you guy know what model this is and how much it worth.

I made a link to the picture:

It has a Gibson 3 Point Bridge on it, that's for sure. :roll: The rest, I don't know. :shock: The controls appear to be Gibson dials also.

FYI: That bass is an example of early Japanese manufacturing and it dates to mid to late 1960's.

It was sold under the KENT brand and it has a large non-adjustable humbucking pickup which does not have it's original cover. That explains the aluminum tape holding the pickup in to the body. Someone added the Gibson 3 point bridge since the original is stamped out steel and with plastic saddles on adjustable screws.

I actually own one of these basses and ,while crude in manufacture, it is solid mahogany both neck and body and those inlays in the neck are real pearl. It has a cool sound but it 's not a Fender bass.

+1, doesn't look like a Fender to me, either.
