Hello, fellow TB'ers!
I currently own a 2001 made Fender AVRI 62 Jazz and a 2009 made Fender AVRI 62 P bass.
I am looking around to snag another AVRI P or J, and recently came across a few candidates, a 89 AVRI P and a 87 AVRI J.
What bothers me is that both the 89 P and 87 J's pickups are different from mine.
Both of my current basses' pickups, which are stock, have beveled polepieces that sightly protrude the plastic pickup caseing.
However, the 89 P and 87 J's pickups have pollpieces flush/level with the pickup cover and are not beveled.
Unfortunately, neither seller is the original owner and cannot provide any answers.
Is there any chance that Fender changed the appearance/spec of the AVRI series' pickups over the years?
I would greatly appreciate it if you Fender experts out there can chime in
Cheers!
