Have an old Fender Jass Bass. Offset contour body. Looking for the modle year and what it might be worth? Can't find a serial # on it, only patent #'s.All I know is it is a 1960 somthing. It is white with the following #'s.
pat. 2.573,254 2,960,204 3,143028.
If anyone could help me figure this out it would be great...
Thanks in advance.....Randy

Welcome to the Forum.

Can't really tell anything from those numbers.

If you can't find a serial number anywhere on the headstock, on the neckplate or on the back of the neck where it meets the body then you will have to take the neck off and see what is in the neck pocket and the butt off the neck.

A neck date will only date the neck. Now that is the accepted way to date a Fender bass but with the vast amount of replacement bass bodies, it may not be a genuine Fender all over.

If you can post a picture or more it will help in identifying what you have.

Every part on an original 60's Jazz bass has a certain look to it.
These parts can be faked but they can indicate what range of years your bass was made.
