| | | | so it does look like a true fender p-bass body not a knock off?
there seems to be another similar hole in the neck pocket.. maybe its for weights to balance it or help cure dead spots???

looks like fender to me, judging by where the sticker is in p/u route |

IMO tobacco burst can very often be distinguished by its nearly 2-tone burst pattern. A traditional burst is more like yours...very distinctive 3 tone burst patterm. |

|  | The deepest grooves take time | | Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Houston | | | Yeah, but look at the lower horn, that's awful. 3-tone sunburst on top and tobacco burst on the bottom. No wonder he's confused. It looks like the red layer was put on LAST. Ggesehh.

My 98 MIA Jazz deluxe also has that hole in the body... stopped me from taking off my pick guard.. which sucks. 
I think it is probably used during the manufacturing process for some stupid reason.... but it still sucks! |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: NYC/LI | | | yeah my 03 mia jazz has that hole too. Maybe it's a reference for the CNC machine or where they clamp it for painting? cause mine isn't painted in the hole.

The body in the top picture looks exactly like the body in the bottom picture. |

| | | | yeah.. good point.. it does look wierd because there is no pickguard to cover the "no red" burt area on the bottom..

| | | | I found out (also as posted above) they are for alignment during routing and holding during painting.

Can't tell on the RB-5, but the Jazz Deluxe Plus has the red all the way around.
