    I'm unaware of any markings on the Bass, although there could be.

    Each Bass came with a booklet.

    Smart move, Ernie Ball did a incredible job getting the Status necks shaped right for the 100th Namm Ann Bass.
    Not sure there is a way other then getting the original Paper work that came with it..
    The bridges are old stock 1979 on the 100th Namm Ann i believe.

    The thumb screws are smaller in diameter...as found on early EB muted bridges. Pre-EB screws were slightly larger in diameter.

    Yeah it was but it's already gone !
    (for the Status bass only cuz it's more pricy)
    I'm planning to trade it for the MM Namm 100th Stingray or A Sabre bass so I have money for a Status Stingray Replacement neck so I can recreate a Cutlass II bass
    Btw Visit Strings & Things in Antwerp there they have 2 Namm 100th Stingrays among others

    I had 100th Anniv. and the only way to tell was the basses 'number' on the paperwork. I would think that if you checked with EB customer service, they could tell the series number given the serial number of the bass, but there is no way to tell just by looking at the bass.

    Well the number 1 way too tell is very simple, The 100th Anniv Has a GOLD 100th ANNIV Coin molded in the headstock. That's by far the easiest way.
