Hi guys I bought second hand a "fender precision bass last year " I replaced the scratch plate and knobs and put a fender bridge guard on it . It has no serial number and the headstock decal is not one I recognise. Or the patent numbers . It has made in Japan on the neck plate .
Well there's no serial number and the decal doesn't match to any $@! P basses I can see on google, also the little string tree thing on the headstock isn't in the same place as other basses and the other basses seem to have a smooth curve in the wood going from the end of the headstock up to the nut, mine looks dead flat from the photos. That's only from looking at google images so might no mean anything!

Sure sounds like a fake even without photos. Never buy any Fender without a verifiable bonafide serial number.

A definitive analysis can only occur if you post some pics of the instrument.
