What Year Was My Bass Born? Heh

[tank1/2full]

I bought a beautiful EB MM fretless 2 band bass used back in 1995. No visible serial #. How can I tell what year she was born in?

Thanks -

without the serial number its quite hard to tell

gav's site is pretty comprehensive:

Home - Musicmanbass.org, Music Man, Musicman, Music Man Bass, Musicman Bass, Music Man Guitar

you may be able to find some identifiers that help age it. Otherwise, I think the factory often date stamped the neck pocket prior to assembly. Can anyone second this?

The serial number is probably on the bridge. Dust it off and take a look down there.

Got it. It's a 41XXX that would be her about 14 yo.
