BassTractor Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Folks, Got two Classic Vibes with s.nrs. starting with CGS08 and CGS12 The web seemed inconclusive as to whether one or two number positions count. Were they made in '08 and '12, Were they made in '10 and '11? Thanks! best, bert Edited January 4, 2013 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Oh, never mind. Looking at several serial numbers on CVs, I think I've decoded it: My guess: First pair of digits are year of manufacture. Second pair are month of manufacture. Three last digits are number within a month. If month = "00". then this probably means that one made more than 999 during a certain month, and the "00" is ised for those basses. Serial number is put on neck before all parts are thrown together, so QC date on tag must always be later than serial number date. Not exactly a qualified guess, but not totally without merit either, I should think. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 You could also try taking the neck off - Fenders usually have the date stamped on the neck and body, they probably do the same on Squiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks folks! Yup. Pretty sure me too. I might take off the neck in some months. For now I just want to play and enjoy it. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
