Hey folks, I am just checking with you all to see if I do not have a some off brand copy with a Fender sticker.

The S/N on my bass is E1041867 (E1+6 Format)

If you have a MIK J-Bass, does it have the format of S/N above?

Customer Care said they thought in may be a 1981-83ish due to the E1 prefix but the 6 digits following threw them a curve ball.

They said remove the neck to check the date. Well, I did and there is no date on the end of it but there was a funny little green sticker, with what looked to be some musical notes on it, with some initials. No date. Note: The truss rod adjustment is on the headstock end.


There is no skunk stripe on the back like my P-Bass but I noticed that several versions of the J-Bass do not have a stripe on the back of the neck.

When I can figure out how to post pics, I will get them up for you all.

Any help on dating the year would be greatly appreciated.

Anthony

Oh yeah, One thing I forgot to mention that there is what looks to be an external ground strip from the bridge to the bridge pickup. I have never seen that before. Is that of any significance?

I believe yours is a 60's reissue jazz bass! I may have to check on a book to be certain!
