Check this out. Even the headstock is a total knock off, and it's suppose be built in the UK.

Not a bad looking knock-off.. Biggest tip to me it's not genuine is the neck stringers are too narrow. Some of Ken's early basses had them that thin, but I've not seen that style of BT with them that thin.
