tommorichards Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Is there a site or a book, with a list of the various models fender have done throughout the years, and their place of manufacturer, colour options, hardware etc? Basically, say you have a natural body jazz with block pearl inlays on a rosewood board, made in japan, it could give a date it was made. A reference book of sorts. mainly out of curiosity.

White Cloud Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Wow, that'd be a thick book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 There is one, I think it's called 'The Internet'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 "The Fender Bass – An Illustrated History" - [url="http://101basses.com/the-fender-bass-an-illustrated-history/"]http://101basses.com/the-fender-bass-an-illustrated-history/[/url] This covers from 1951 to 2001. It doesn't have the comprehensive level of detail that you're after but covers the main models and significant changes over those years. This site is also a really useful reference for vintage Fender - [url="http://www.guitarhq.com/fender.html"]http://www.guitarhq.com/fender.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 There are several online serial number search sites already. But not even Fender can tell you the month that a bass was actually finished (I tried to find out for a strat I own) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I tried looking for Fender bass models too, but neither Airfix nor Revell make any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
