Hi everyone, long time Fender lover and brand new to the forum! It's great to join such an awesome community dedicated to the instruments we all love! I have what appears to be a golden opportunity to purchase a Fender Jazz Deluxe 5 string bass from a local seller for (gulp) $150 with a hardshell case. Man, I'm giddy!!! However, the serial number doesn't appear to jive with the info I've been able to find. I thought the Mexican made serial numbers were MN followed by 6 digits, but this Jazz bass has MN followed by 8 digits (MN9372495l). Do you guys think it's legit? At $150 it's clear the guy isn't trying to get rich, but I'm worried he may have a forgery and not know it. Is there any reasonable explanation for this serial number? Thanks for any help you can give me!

I went to http://www.guitardaterproject.org but it didn't recognize that serial number. It might be a phony.

I haven't found anything either. I would contact Fender at: consumerrelations@fender.com
