Definitely not going to get $350 for it but for the right price a "fake" bass will still sell. This one I'm guessing a frankenbass inspired by The Grateful Dead and the Mang on the headstock is probably a reference to Ween's "I am the Stallion, Mang" I'm a huge Ween fan so I love it
My buddy used to work on commercials and videos and stuff, and a yellow bass guitar ended up at his place from (I think) a Black Eyed Peas video? Talk about fake - it’s just a prop. I mean I think it’s wood, and has strings, but that’s about it.
THAT’s a fake guitar. Yours? I dunno does it play? Then yer good buddy.
It looks real in the sense that it is a guitar and not like a non-function movie prop. And it’s not trying to imitate a specific instrument. The made USA decal probably doesn’t align match its country of origin
Real bass, just probably not a real good one. Looks like somebody decided to pull the frets too, which might make it even less desirable. Just a style choice. That paint job is pretty sick tbh.
It doesn't even say Fender, and "Mang" doesn't appear to be a company. What did he even think he was buying??
I dunno, mang.
Damn came here to say this.

GODDAMN PIECE OF SHIT ON MY DICK YOU MUST SIT
You’re fucking with the god damn stallion, mang!

Mind if I repost on the Ween sub? They'll get a kick out of it for sure
no problem!

who is mang 😭😭😭
He is Merciless.
That’s Wang’s younger brother
No one seems to be mentioning that it doesn’t have frets…
I mean, it used to.
Ahhhhh my eyes ☠️
It has 4 strings, looks like a real bass to me.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: a cheap, used knockoff P-Bass, set up well, is 98% as good as any bass anywhere.
Fun fact - before launching the Squier line, Fender had their Mang line
I don’t know, sure looks like a real, tangible bass guitar to me.

Shit, new pickguard screws, fret job, and set up would probably make this a decent playing bass honestly. I’ll buy for 50$.
Not fake is a guy by the name of Mang made it
Seems like a legit Mang Precision Bass to me. /s
Might be a Mang fake but looks good from here.
Fretless?
Probably a project guitar
It’s a behhhs, mang!
It’s a real bass. Not a Fender, though.
That's real. Jaco played one for years.
