Hello Rafa and welcome to the forum. We can not see your photos. Here are directions on how to post photos here.

Go to: http://brotherdave.com/add_comm.htm When that page loads scroll down to the section titled HOW TO POST PHOTOS IN THE FENDER FORUM.

Since I wrote that Fender changed the site software a bit. The Img button is now white instead of brown and you only have to click the Img button once and then paste the link to your photo in between the meta tags instead of clicking, posting the link and clicking Img again. Sounds complicated but it really isn't. The cursor now goes to where you paste the link to your photo so you no longer have to move the cursor.

Once you get the photos to display there will be no shortage of opinions.

I had to edit the links to make the photos work, you can't use the page link but have to use the photo link.

Without the serial I see some things that are questionable about this bass.

The volume/tone knobs are Stratocaster style knobs. About the only Fender Japan basses I've seen with Strat type knobs are Bullet Basses, not Precisions.

The headstock decal looks to be similar to the Mexican Black Label Series decal, in fact it might be a copy with "Mexico" changed to "Japan." The real Fender Japan decals I've seen were much nicer than this.

The serial should appear on the back of the neck, visible just above the body.

Based on the serial number you provided, the Guitar Dater Project says:
Your guitar was made at the
Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan
in the Year(s): 1994 - 1995

Perhaps this is a bass made for sale only within Japan. This era was about the same time as the Black Label Series ran in Mexico. Since the MIM Black Label Series was a budget line for sale in North America, maybe this is the Japanese equivalent for sale in Japan. I've honestly never seen one before but the serial appears valid. This was also around the same period also that the MIM Black Label basses were using Stratocaster type knobs.

I suggest sending a private message to a forum member here named lawsuitbass who has a great deal of expertise on Japanese Fenders and may know exactly what it is.
