Pot Numbers on a Fender...How to know which year they refer to?

[PauBass]

I'm looking at a late 70's Precision, I know about the neck numbers but not sure how to read the Pots... could you tell me about this one, please?

Pot Number: [b]AR 1378106[/b]... which year is this?

Thanks guys!

According to [url="http://www.21frets.com/dating_fenders.html"]http://www.21frets.com/dating_fenders.html[/url] (content probably nicked from the provide.net site) the pot was made in the sixth week of 1981. So if it's a seventies fender you're looking at, it's either a replacement pot or it's not a seventies fender!
