boroman Posted August 15, 2021 Posted August 15, 2021 Beautiful bass! I'll date it no earlier than mid 1972 (because of that tuners).

boroman Posted August 15, 2021 Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Fender started using tuners marked with "registered" mark after mid 1972 - before tuners had only "Fender" written on the back. After mid 72 they're "Fender (R)" (with some design changes later in 70s, like chrome plated and plate redesign) Have you got pictures of neck stamp by any chance? that may help Below photo of both Edited August 15, 2021 by boroman 1
SurroundedByManatees Posted August 15, 2021 Author Posted August 15, 2021 Cool. Something learned🙂 There are no useful markings on the neck.. 1
