    Can you tell when it was finished? I just love it and want to know when it was born. Thanks a lot.
    Francisco, welcome and congrads on your new bass! Your bass is just a baby, completed on 7/13/07. Nice!

    Hi and welcome to the Forum.

    Pre-EB's were Ash bodies with Maple necks. Some bodies used Basswood from 1980 but that was the 4 bolted neck Basses. The grain on your Bass would also tend to confirm Ash.

    Serial records don't exist for the Pre-EB Basses so, in the absence of removing the neck from the body (both dated), the only thing to do is compare yours with other serials. B015678 indicates late 1979 or early 1980 (probably the former).

    BTW...great looking Bass

    StevieDee, that bloke was right! Your bass was finished on 1/13/1989.

    It is possessed now .. by you!

    Your bass was completed on May 10, 2005 and was originally shipped to Audio Classics in Vestal, NY. Nice!
