I've never seen an old pre cbs Precision with such body routes, and that looks like sen ash imo. Is that one of the original Tochai's?

Pretty cool bass.

It does have a neck plate serial of 1024018 which is not a Fender USA serial. The serial location is similar to very early Fenders but some Japanese ones were here too. Fender Japan and MIM Fenders never had a serial there.

The decal is an obvious fake. The bridge looks like an actual Fender vintage bridge and it has what appears to be an old Fender pickup baseplate and pickup pair but it could be a really accurate copy. The pots are not CTS or Stackpole so not Fender stuff but oddly the tone cap looks correct. The pickguard while a good quality 3 ply tort is not Fender. The tuners have that steely & shiny Japanese look to me, not the blue luster of the ones Fender USA used. I'm guessing Japanese lawsuit bass with some Fender USA parts. WILDINTHESTREETS might be right, it could be Tokai or there are several other makes it could be. It is probably a 70's or so.

This actually is probably a fairly decent instrument, but it isn't a Fender.

A tuner and other chrome parts can be made to look that way.

I think it's a" Lower Angola Mud Fest" bass :D
