Cat Burrito Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 It looks more like a 62RI bass rather than a 70s reissue and PB62 would mean 1962 Precision Bass. The Ex means export and not all Japanese Fender basses have the serial number on the neck heel. I think it is genuine but someone with a closer eye for detail please feel free to tell me I'm wrong.

LukeFRC Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 PB-62-EX means precision bass, 1962 reissue and export. No idea of date my guess from the 90's. No idea where the serial and MIJ or CIJ has gone - it would be a pain to try prove what it is if you ever come to sell it. The good news is that japanese fender are awesome so you'll never need too.
