Just purchased this slightly abused 50's P Bass on ebay (UK). The seller states it's a lacquer P bass. When I questioned how he could tell this was lacquer instead of the lower end urethane model....he said he didn't know.
I took a chance on it anyway as even if it's urethane I got it for a...
Hi,
I'm about to buy a Fender Jazz Bass, and the seller claims it to be a 1978 model. Need help in dating this bass to assure myself it is a 1978.

So i just got a Boss OC2 and was going to do some research. However, there is no info sticker on the back plate at all and no number inside the battery compartment. Does this mean ill never know the year and production location?

Looking at a 1990's natural finish Fender Jazz, but there is no serial number on the neck or on the plate. Guy is swearing that it's an American made one. Was thinking that it is a replacement neck, a Japanese made on or a fake. Any Fender experts out there?
So I have ventured into the arena of the 5 string bass. Its more out of curiosity than need or desire. I found an Ibanez Ergodyne EDB 405 at a decent price (so I hope) and wanted to learn a bit about its origins. The S/N is I061025830, and from what I have learned it comes from the Cort...
Can't seem to find one. Just trying to confirm some things on my little Coda R
Does anyone have a manual for the Model 511AA still handy? My amp goes back 10 years or so. I'm not the original owner. My amp was rated at 400 watts at 4 ohms. Wanted to know if there was an increase in output when...
Bought a used power amp off of Reverb. I've got 3 others of the same model. The manufacturer places a sticker on the back of the amp containing the S/N. The one I bought off of Reverb is missing this sticker.
That said, there does not appear to be evidence of one being removed. The...
Hello, I read a couple threads about ampeg head serial #s, but they didn't seem to match up with mine. It may be a much newer model. The serial is 203408110CPEW0021. I'm trying to figure out when/where it was made and all that.
Ok... You may think this is an easy one but this mystery bass is tough. At least for me.
Notes of interest...
-there are no patent numbers under the Fender logo
-there are no thumbrest holes
-the tuners are early USA repros, not typical Japan narrower ones found on Japanese JB62US models
-there...
Hello, I purchased what I was told is a 1980 fender precision special a few months ago.
Upon further investigation I am now unsure of the year it was made. Everytime I try to look up the serial number I'm coming up with different information.
One site said it was actually a strat number...
This is a question that has run across my mind a number of times, but I've never been able to really determine the legitimacy of this concern.
I've seen many guitar and bass advertisements, some with only pictures of the bass' general appearance and others with pictures of everything including...
Hi ....
As I shared last month Pictures of My new American Design Experience Precision bass...Some things i noticed that seemed off were its said no where on the headstock "Made in the USA" no serial Number on the headstock...the Serial number is on the neck plate (Pictured Below) I contacted...
So I'm likely getting a Tobias Killer B 4 tomorrow. I'm almost certain it's a Gibson made version. Serial number is 10110. Got a picture of it and above the serial It's stamped "made in USA".
Can anyone confirm the year and if Gibson made or not? Looks Gibson to me. Thanks v
Hello,
I would kindly ask you to help me identify 3 basses based on their serial number. Otherwise can you tell me a contact where I can WRITE and ask about them ?
I'm considering buying all of them and would like to know more about it...

Hello TBers.
I saw an affordable Squier VM Jazz V on local forum here.
But the bass has "USED" hammered stamp behind the headstock & the serial number has been covered with a sticker with a new serial number from MIRC (Musical Instrument Reclamation Corporation).
From what I've read on internet...
I recently traded a guy some old equipment for this Fender Precision Bass. I figured it would be a fun restoration project. The guy told me that it was from the 70s, but that's all he knows. He says that he took it to a luthier and that's who dated the bass back to the 70s, but he didn't really...
