I don't know. Something seems off in those pics, especially the way the decal is, and the numbering on the back of the headstock. It doesn't seem to match up with the Fenders that I've had, especially P Basses, but I'm not an expert, and I could be wrong. I'm not getting a "real" vibe to it, though.

I wouldn't touch it.
The style of the "F" is like a bizarre marriage of the spaghetti and CBS logo, but the "hook" at the beginning of the top of the F is WAY exaggerated.
The "AM STANDARD PRECISION" butted right up against the "r" doesn't look right.
Serial number on the neck plate duplicated on the back of the headstock...
And a neck plate serial number would normally be up between the top bolts.

I can't find anything on Google images that even remotely looks like that.

Phony as a three-dollar bill.
