Stance Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hello I have 1985 Fender PBass - MIJ - that it has 557 written both on the neck and neck pocket. any idea what can it mean? I´ve search the web but haven´t found any conclusive answer. I´m going to put it for sale soon, and I want to be as accurate as possible! thanks Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanew Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi fellow groover, i would try this answer : 5 is the code for Precision Bass. It comes from the sixties when stamped necks had a 5 for PB and a 7 for JB. My old 1963 PB shows a 5 57 for telling that it is a 1957 PB copy. In the factory, it is easier for workers to have these numbers. I hope it will help. Good Groove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 My initial thoughts were it meant a 57 Reissue/copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
