Who knows something about it? Where I can get information? Which year it is? I think there few details are not original for example bridge? Maybe some other details are not original maybe you know? Link to images

looks like a cbs era telebass circa mid to late 60s? They were released as a 'reissue' (of something that was never actually released) as a sort of nod to fender's past and were one of a few early attempts by cbs to try something new-ish. I don't recall that they were exceptional, although I am basing my info here on what i remember from what tom wheeeler mentioned in the '50 years of the strat' book which was released in 2004.

Fender made Tele basses from 68-79 with single coils until 73 and then they switched to humbuckers.All Tele basses I've seen have had a slab P Bass style bodt with no contouring.This one is puzzling.

Wow that is a really neat looking bass. I don't know if I've ever seen one like that before!
