Dating Fender Basses

Post by foal30 »

hooha...anyone keen to offer links to how they do this please.

remember I'm Vegan so no entrails reading please.

I like the "Bass Book" by Tony Bacon but currently on good old TM there is another anomaly...probably the third one in 6 weeks.

any takers?

My mother's maiden name is Bass, and Dad used to date her before they were married.

He had a PA Vauxhall, big sideburns and some beer in the back. I think that helped with the dating. :)

theres the basics - like wheres the serial number? on the Hstock, the neck plate? theres a pre and post 77 milesstone, or is it esp tasty lil number where you pull of the neck and read the stamp on the inner heel of the neck? - those moments should be done in the privacy of a Guitargeeks den

Ta,
Rog's link is the online one Ive used for a while and is very similar to Bacon's two books.
cop the Rangiora '85 on TM and it don't add up.

It didn't strike me as dodgy
just the purchase date versus the serial number is interesting.
