Hello! I'm new to this forum so excuse me if'll do something wrong)

I want to buy a new bass and found this one on a local forum, but i am not sure in it's origin so i want to ask for help with identifiying this bass:

Seller says that it is Fender American Vintage PB RI 62. Serial number V134002, neck dated by 2000, body by 2001. And it has a "birdseye" neck. As far as i know Fender sets birdseye neck only on custom shop guitars and maybe other series but not on AVRI. I played this bass and i liked the feeling and sound, but i didn't play a lot of american basses so it is difficult for me to say is it really original or not. I want to know is it original Fender AV RI 62 or it has some not original parts? What do you think? Thank you very much!

Welcome to the forum.

The knobs are not correct for 62 RI. That alone is enough to make it a parts bass. The body looks something like Candy Cola color, but my monitor is not the best so hard to tell what color it is exactly. To the best of my knowledge the 62 RI has only been offered in Sunburst and Olympic White. Whatever color it is, it is neither of those for sure. Sorry.
