A different Marcus Miller?

Hello guys,

So far i had two Fenders MM, both MIJ. The first one is from 2007 and it has 3 piece Ash body and the weight was 10 pounds. It had all the standard stuff that MM have. The other one has a two piece Ash body and weights about 7 pounds... It's a newer Japanese model with Badass bridge but with 3 string slots per barrel.
Those 3 pounds less makes a difference during the gig and the sound is the same... I saw other MM's and all of them had the 3 piece Ash body... any thoughts?

Here's the serial number: T001839 (made between 2007-2010)

There was a thread on here a few months ago about a MM Jazz up for sale and the buyer was unsure if the instrument was a genuine MIJ Fender. Somebody mentioned the difference in the belly cut contour on the instrument for sale compared to one they knew to be genuine. Interestingly you have two MIJ basses where the belly cuts look different from each other (how far they extend across the upper horn) though I'm sure they're both the genuine article.

Hi HowieBass, well... The older one, i know it's original because i bought it new in a store and a Fender sales manager was there. The other one was from a trade but indeed looks original too, only lighter... But you point out an interesting difference that i didn't notest until now.
