Does anyone know much about early 80s 62 reissue jazz basses? In 1984, could there have been some made without pickup covers (and the holes drilled for them)? I have one that is definitely an 84 neck and electronics, but I am unsure of the body becuase it has no drilled holes for the covers and the pickguard has no holes for them either. ALso, anybody know the history of those instruments, were they really made by an elite team that was sort of a pre-cursor to the Fender custom shop? Also, if you post any pictures of your early 80s 62 reissue I would really love to see them.

Thanks, Bruce

Hi Bruce,

I know that the US vintage reissue basses are sold with the pickup covers and the finger rest, unmounted, so the fact that your bass does not have any holes in the body just means that no previous owner ever mounted the covers and /or the finger rest.
Now the pickguard should have the holes for the cover if the pickguard is original to the bass.
Obviously anything on your bass could be from another bass, so a picture would give us more insight as to what you have.

I don't know if the vintage series has any connection with the custom shop. I kind of think not, but someone with more info may give you a different story.
I don't own a USA vintage reissue bass, so I don't have any pictures to show you.
