Hello there,

I've recently picked up a nice old Series II bass. The serial number is #487. Does anyone have any idea of how old it might be?

A friend of mine has a Series II with a #200 odd number which is an '86, so I estimated somewhere in the late 80's or very early 90's. Anyone got a better idea? Thnak you!

My friend has 444, so I would guess 87/ early '88?

Lovely bass indeed!

Thanks very much for the compliments guys! It really is a dream instrument of mine, I had always wanted a Series II but to get one with a maple facing is just fantastic.

I have finally seen the Status light again and I will never be without one now!

Totally understand your excitement!

Mine is the #402 and it's an '88, so yours is probably the same year or very early '89. Enjoy!
