I've scored a great trans blue early TRB 4 with JJ configuration and lower body cutaway, which indicates an early TRB model. However, serial confuses me pretty much. According to this chart
http://www.yamaha.com/yamahaguitars/ElectricandBassGuitarSerialNumberSystems.pdf
my bass should be produced in 1985, as serial on my bass is 5H31xxx
From my knowledge, TRB were introduced in 1989 - 90 so how can it be?

Any Yamaha expert, please help!

You should be looking at system e4 which doesn’t indicate year of production

That's what I did and why I started the thread. Serial number at the headstock of my bass has the 5H(number) pattern just like in a system E4 which are for basses made from 86-89.

But big Thank you for your reply...outta from billions members on TB :)
