Obviously photos help, . . .
Incidentally, I've never heard of a graphite neck on a Bass Collection ...
Your second bass has the standard serial numbering used by Bass Collection, and is clearly a 1988 bass. Is it actually identical to the first one?[/quote]
Well, here is the shot of the wiring cavity with the serial in the '87.
Don't understand why one year they have a 5 digit system, and the next year a 6 digit . . .
Here's the shot of the neck.
Notice there is 'no grain'.
Trust me, it isn't wood, and it isn't painted.
Visually, the 2nd SGC is almost identical.
The first difference is the SGC Logo is verticle on the PUps as opposed to horizontal(As on the '87).
The next is the neck appears to be rosewood.
And 3rd, the wiring cavity is very different.
I LOVE the tone of the '87, and most soundmen have remarked on it.
Let me know if you need more pics.
Thank You Gentlemen, Robin
