I'm not saying I think it's fake. I'm pretty certain it's the real deal. Just like some other like minded opinions.

I've checked the S/N. It ties up. My worry was the neck could be legit but the body could be an affinity for all I know 😂

Hi all. First post in a while...if at all. bit of back story for context. I listed my fender MIM mustang for sale on eBay because I had a chance of buying back a fender MIM Jazz I sold back in 2014. It held a lot of sentimental value plus it played exceptionally. I sold it to buy a buggy for my first child. Silly when I look back but at the time essential. I wasn't playing at all back then really. fast forward anyways. The deal fell through. He decided he didn't want to sell after all. but as it happens a nice guy on eBay messaged and asked if I'd be interested in a trade. I love a trade!! he offered a 2010 Sunburst Fender MIA Jazz bass American special. I was after a jazz again anyway so I said straight swap or more. I'm a bit poor lately especially with Xmas around the corner. He said extra his way or he would be happy if I paid his train ticket from London to Southampton. Few messages. Few videos back and forth. We were both happy with the deal so he came down this weekend. We each looked over the respective instruments and were satisfied with the deal so we swapped and parted ways. now...I'm not expert but I've seen my fair share of basses. I've NEVER played an American made fender. I've seen them and never thought they commanded the money compared to a MIM. I'm certain it's genuine. But to me the tuners don't seem better than the mex I just gave away. Local guitar shop thinks I've got a good deal. Just wondering what you guys think. 1- is it legit? 2- is MIM to MIA a good trade? thanks guys

Yeah I have. I actually met Lars at his solo gig in Southampton back end of last year. Got a pat on the back and a fist bump. I felt like a fanboy! 😂 what a moment. I also got a signed CD 👌🏻

Yeah that was me. Ive got two rancid tattoos so I’m a BIG fan. I’ve always wanted one of these and never thought I’d find one. They are very rare!! this one looks in fantastic condition. I didn’t really look at it much tbh. I just saw it. Saw the low price and thought I cannot wait on this. I play a Hofner violin at the moment, just got rid of a 01 squier affinity that was great! So I’m after a p bass. Glad I stumbled upon this beauty. I put rotosounds on the p I had 50-110! They sounded great. I was actually saving up for an American made P bass. See how I get on with this one instead.

I think I’ve just bought this bass from bass direct?! 🤔
