Grand Wazoo Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 You could check on this site [url="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/mycustompage0028.htm"]http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/mycustompage0028.htm[/url], my estimation given your Serial No. 29838 is that the bass could dated between 89/90, are the first 2 letters BO before the number? I.e. BO29838 ? If so, that is as accurate as it should be. Also if you lift the control plate moon shape thing with the volume and eq knobs you should be able to find a sticker on the pot with a date. Or just send an email with some pics to the webmaster (his name is Gav) he could give you a more accurate placement. The email address is: [email protected] Oh and do show us some pics, will ya?

[/quote] I agree. HAd one a few years back, late '80s transitional model with the bullet TR adjust and the mutes. Birdseye neck and translucent red finish. Wish I hadn't punted it.
