Your Experience Please? Fender 62 RI 1982 or 86???

[ziggybass]

Hi from Spain.

This is my problem. I bought this 3 tone burst from (like Ionesphere) company last year. When I google this model I see a mixture of 10 and 11 hole pickguards and 3 and 4 ply?

I believe Fender did this RI in 82 or 86 first the company I bought from said 1982 build model,con and when I went back to firm this I couldn't get a reply. I phoned them got some rude responce. Honestly speaking quetly I tried to reason and now they block me from even buying go figour!

I am also not clear if the 62 RI were fitted with the stacked pots as per the original. Now I been a bass player 58 years this October so I am a bit ashamed I don't know this stuff and at 71 I am going cross eyed for days starring a my VDU until my brain is now numb!

So I would really appreciate your opinions as I can no longer rationalies what I am seeing. It drives me goofy! To many conflicting examples on google!

ps, Whats a "Topic Tag" if you have a title? [attachment=201895:Oct 13, 2012 5_23_12 PM (1).jpg]
