Now that you've pointed it out, this seems to be the case, good eagle eye there. The line is too straight, not really a contour. I reckon our bass player brains take a quick look and fill in the details to fit what we already know.
The same happened to me when Thomann were doing the Squier 40th Anniversary models at daft prices and also when some company were selling the Yamaha Sessioncake for just over a tenner. Basschat filled their boots on both counts.
