Hi all! I have a Empathy 5 strings, with serial number 0782226, which I bought used some years ago, and I would like to know if anyone has a clue on what year it was made. I've already sent an email to Rob, but I got no answer... I've also checked the Database, but I find no pattern in all the Empathy's serials. If someone could give me hand? Cheers, Paulo imageshack.com/a/img811/4194/46yo.jpg imageshack.com/a/img199/4444/fp64.jpg

That looks like July 1998. 07 is the month then the 8 is 1998. the other numbers just denote the number of the bass. Unless someone knows differently.

Yes, I read about that rule already. But searching the database for Empathy's we get exceptions to that: - 1995 / 046204 - 1998 / 1756/1171616 These might be abbreviated: - 1998 / 1740 - 1995 / 2456 - 1989 / 704 This is the only one within the rule: - 1997 / 971428 And these are all the 7 Empathy's in the database, and no pattern is visible to guess the serial number on mine. But the stronger bet is definitely 98. Thank you anyway! Smile
