NathanY Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hey everyone, Just wondering about a Jaydee Supernatural Bass I have. Its my dads old bass and I wondered when its from and whether I could depict that from the serial number. Its got "Mark King Model" on the rod cover and has a serial of 81522. Any help?

visog Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Aww, raised my expectations for some mid-80s Jazz Funk bass porn then dashed them. Get a photo up to charge the debate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezzaboy Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Just looking at the tuners and they say made in W Germany. How quickly we forget that it was 2 separate countries not so long ago. Just guessing but does the serial number mean the 22nd of May 1981? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass aside, what was your Dad's story? Obviously had fine taste in basses ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Great bass, a real classic. I hope the battery was taken out when it went out of use. It looks like it needs a really good clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, first digit is year, rest a loose indicator of the number of basses made. Since this is a series 3 Mark King bass, I would estimate 1988 (didn't get introduced until mid-80's). That said, I think people have requested specific serial numbers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
