PURPOLARIS Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Is it possible to tell the model of a Fender Bass from the serial number? My boss' son has a USA Jazz Bass that he wants to sell but doesn't know what it's worth. I'm waiting to find out if he knows what model it is but the serial number is Z2230218 which I think makes it a USA made 2002. I'll hopefully have a pic tomorrow to shed more light on it. Quote
andydye Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 There's a full discourse on fender dating in the support aree of the fender website, I think you're correct though... Quote
PURPOLARIS Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 I got the date okay, it's the model I'm looking for ie Standard etc. Quote
Sibob Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Z is USA, so it will probably just be a standard. A picture will help, but if it's just solid colour/sunburst, dot markers, passive (Vol/Vol/tone, possibly with S1 switch)....thats a standard , great basses! Si Quote
PURPOLARIS Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Thanks Si, I'm hoping to have a pic of it tomorrow. Any idea of its worth. It has a Fender hard case as well. Quote
Sibob Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Usually they'll go for anything between £450-£650, depends on condition, the actual model, things like that. If everything is mint and all the 'case-candy', good condition case etc etc, probably closer to the £650 perhaps. If it's got a battered case and there's scratches and dings on the bass, closer to the £450 mark. Si Quote
