barklama Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hi, I was hoping somebody could shed some light on a marcus miller bass i have.. I was told this model wasn't released until 98.. So how on earth does mine have a 93-94 seriel... It is all 100 % genuine as i took it to a fender dealer and they clarified this? I did some research on the net and there is a couple feeds on fake looking ones.. Where this one of mine is complete original, is it possible they might of made some of them earlier or something.. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
