Sardonicus Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Does anybody know what the reference; TYPE PR : 839 means? It's on the headstock of my newly acquired Squier Jazz Bass Deluxe IV which is Indonesian made, in the CORT factory back in 2015. I emailed Fender this morning to see what they say, just waiting for a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Fender did do a paramount series, don’t know if that’s it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Isn’t it maybe just the model number (production reference?) Seen Fender use a PR designation on their amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sardonicus Posted May 16, 2022 Author Share Posted May 16, 2022 @casapete I also thought that `PR' might stand for Product Reference but, I've not seen that style of reference on any other Squier basses before. Hopefully Fender can satisfy my curiosity....when they eventually reply to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardonicus Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 The official reply from Fender / Squier is; "The PR number is a reference to the product development project. Each product we make will have a reference number through the R&D stages and on these particular instruments, it was kept on them during production. It is essentially the technical model number." So now we know 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardonicus Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 I just realised that I never posted a picture of the bass, here it is... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
