Saw an MIM Jazz Bass. It has an all plastic cavity cover. The picguard extended to the control cavity unlike the plastic guard & metal control cavity cover. It also had plastic knobs like a start. Did Fender do the on 1990s MIMs or is the body a fake the neck is a fender with an MN serial number.

Wonky as it may be, I've seen some budget Jazz Basses that were built like that. It's probably authentic.

They (Fender) actually made a model with a pick guard that also served as the control panel, kinda like the P Bass pick guard. I think brotherdave would remember what model it was.
