RichardH Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Now there's an offer you don't get every day... As far as I know, this is a USA Fender P bass body from either late 70s or early 80s. I don't have any original pots, pickguard or hardware to help identify - just the neck pocket photos. Any ideas? Unfortunately the stamps are a little hard to read, but perhaps someone who knows the scheme might make more sense of it than I can...

Chiliwailer Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) if its late 70's / early 80's have you checked for a serial number sticker under the pickguard, or for the date of the pots, if original? Edit, just re-read the middle line!! I'd be scouring Google images / Gbase / Andy Baxter website if i were you.

TheGreek Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Badass donated "The Illustrated Fender Bass Guitar" book to the SE Bash raffle...I don't think it was taken as a prize. Check with Hamster or Silverfoxnik to see if the info is in the book... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 The stamp in the middle looks to me to read "X 6 26 79" so 26th June 1979? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardH Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Wow - your eyesight's better than mine - that would tie in with what I was told by the person I got the body from (who bought the bass new). It was that 7 that was foxing me - plus also not knowing what format the stamp was supposed to be in to allow me to fill in the gaps.

RichardH Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Huh? Are you speculating on the name stamp? I reckon it reads P. A??RFA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sorry I was responding to "Date my body" with "A/S/L?" (age, sex, location). I need to do something to keep myself amused in the office! Good luck with your thing. I'll stop messing about and get back to work. *looks busy* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it took me a few minutes to work out what you were referring to there. I won't get started recalling lines from Big Night Out though or I definitely won't get any work done!
