Special Pickguard
is my bass guitar fake?
i have a 60th anniversary jazz bass
but mine has a wood finish with no paint and a maroon pearl pickguard
it has the little metal circle with the diamond in the middle that says Fender 60th and a clear oval sticker with a gold star and says special edition but no serial like in the picture and on the tuning pegs it doesnt have the little cover on the top like in the picture.

i dont remember exactly hom much i paid for it but it was around 500 or 600
Fender introduced the Jazz Bass in 1960, so it would be impossible to have a 60th anniversary one. Yes, I would say it is a fake. Or maybe it is a Precision Bass. The link to your bass doesn't show me anything.
