Default Fake?

I'm not sure that the description, "fake", applies to your bass. It's a very nice looking bass, new or not, and if it was made/antiqued/refinished in Hungary and sounds good, who cares (unless you paid French prices). It's only a fake if it purports to be something it's not. It looks newer to me, too. If you look at some old, well used basses, you'll get the idea. Maybe the dealer knew more than he was telling (making him the fake), maybe he didn't. If you paid too much for a new Hungarian bass (if it is one) of this quality, and with structural problems to boot, then I can see where you have a problem with the dealer, caveat emptor.
