It's such a smug, stupid thing to post!!!

Even smugger is the very rare IATL.

And it has exciting provenance ...

'I have had this bass for 20 years or so. I bought it in the USA for on a guy who had been the bassist in an unsuccessful Sub Pop band - and whose name I can’t remember although he told me he had played it on their one single.'

... that's OK then.

And what price would it command if it were an actual original '66 slab in actual original pink finish?

Looks like someone over did it when spraying the black.

Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To My Lovely (1969)

 

 

I think Peter Sarstedt played bass in his brother's band: Eden Kane [i.e. Richard Sarstedt] & the Downbeats.

Also the serial number doesn't pop up in Fender database. However I have had issues with that system simply not working, so who knows...

 

Lots of red flags here.

That does appear to me to line up with where the original mutes were screwed into the body.
