Looks like a bog-standard Mex 5 string Jazz to me. If you're worried about the machine heads, those are standard on many of the 5 string models, presumably to cut down on weight.

Runs away before anyone can catch me ;)[/quote]

LOL! As it happens, I played one of these at a local music shop a couple of weeks ago, and didn't like it at all. Got a decent review in BGM though.

As the man from the Tynes suuggests, best to do the homework Fender have produced some dogs over the years, doesn't make them any less genuine ;)

Me too, tried one at the Bass Centre. Horrible I thought. The neck was probably the worst 5string neck I've ever played.

My views exactly. I ended up getting an Ibanez ATK305 - much nicer bass for a lot less money!

Same here.... would have much preferred a 3+2 rather than the 4+1...

And a wider spaced bridge...

Umm and a separate chromed control plate like on the 4's..


But apart from [i]that[/i]..... ;)
