dangee Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Is it on the bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Cougar Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 It's a really old one with pat pending and no tail stamp slystewart has already posted this add before. I'm tempted; I'm only a short hop from Cleethorpes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinalTap Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Info from the musicmanbass.org website : "From 1976 to late 1978, Basses have a 3 bolt neckplate displaying a 6 digit serial number prefixed with the letter "B". " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 But just to be clear Sly, there's no serial number on this bass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystewart Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 no there is no number on the bass the neck plate is blank i did post pictures a week or so ago ... I got the bass with this blank neck plate on it...and for a bass that is some 31years old it is in very good condition...there are dates on the neck and on the body of march 1977 thats all the info i have. A friend of mine has the same bass from round the same period for about the same time when getting together with a band i used his bass and liked it so much i got this one..the one i have is in far better condition than my mates.. I have moved to a 5 string now and its in the front room not being used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
