jonnythenotes Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 The numbers on the back of my P bass pick ups are 180574. These are grey pick ups with the numbers stamped in ink. Does this mean 18th May 1974? I doubt this, as the Americans put there month in front of the date, which would make my theory a none sense as there is no 18th month with a fifth day in it... Also, the pots are stamped with the numbers 137 7352. I know the last four numbers mean the 52nd week of 1973, but what do the first 3 numbers mean....? Once again, any help and advice is always appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police squad Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 the 74 does indicate the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I think the 137 refers to the type of pots. As for the pickups yes the last two digits are the date i think - mine end in 70, and its a 1970 bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammers Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 The first 3 numbers are the manufacturers code. 137 is CTS 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
