also from web: - "As a broad generality V000001-V004000 denote a 1982 guitar, V004000-V010000 denote a 1983 guitar, and V010000-V016000 denotes a 1984 guitar. If you look at my fullerton inventory, you can see that this is just a broad generality. From my experience, any serial number below V016000 denotes a guitar made at the fullerton plant (1982-1984). Of course, there are exceptions to this generalization. I have come across many guitars with a serial number in the V012000's with a 1982 neckdate. I have also come across guitars with a V012000 serial number with a 1986 neckdate."

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1375998528' post='2168541'] Serial number is in-line with '84, based on similar numbers on other instruments. Nice bass, good luck with the sale, have a free bump on me! [/quote] not wishing to contradict rick but here is a post from the fender forum - [b][size="2"]I don't know the exact dates, but I do know the year. If that is not enough, then discard the below info I gathered the past few weeks...

I am very much interested in an updated version of the graph for use on... to me this indicates that the bass is mid to late 1980's[/size][/b]

[quote name='fretless bob' timestamp='1375882823' post='2166876'] serial No is V034848 [/quote] thanks for that - this bass used to be mine - it was made in the mid to late 80's - production of these basses did not start until 1982, so I think your 1981 date needs revising and was initially based in fullerton until 1984 when it moved to corona - hope this helps

great bass - can you tell me the serial number please

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1375548113' post='2162809'] but the guilt of having one more bass than I need is eating away at me. [/quote] Wow that make me feel like the ultimate sinner

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1375306055' post='2159655'] different wood grain pattern Gareth and Wallasey is a long way from North London where the seller resides if I recall correctly from the 61J for sale thread [/quote] thanks for that clarky
