Steve, is that a REAL '62 Jazz? Or a reissue? It's GORGEOUS!
I put the covers on my '77 Jazz when I got it in '99, just to try them out. I ended up liking them, so they've been on ever since. I even put a pick-up cover on my 5-string Jazz. The bridge cover wouldn't fit, though. I really like the way they look, and they aren't in my way (too much!). I usually play between the end of the fingerboard and the front pick-up, so that works out well.It's a US reissue that I bought new in 1988. I didn't mean to mislead, '62 Vintage is just the name of this model. The color is Lake Placid Blue and I only installed the chrome covers for the picture.

My new Hofner...love it so far.
I got a new bass: Music Man Stingray 30th Anniversary Edition (2006) -- I'm sooooo in love!!!
sebi-love that axe! On my "wish list."
Chris-I am very happy with the Hofner. I have wanted one since I was a kid. I got it at a decent price even though it is the Icon serise (but still a Hofner). I have LaBella flatwound strings on order-I'll be sounding like McCartney in no time....I would love to have a 60's Hofner though.
