ok ive been looking at buying a p bass vin mod and seen a few second hand models but have been very confused by the serials, im mostly concerned as i dont want to buy a affinity or other cheaper version and fender replied to state one was actually a p bass special but then could/have not yet supplied me with any extra info regarding the spec.
th first model i saw and was told is a VM then told by fender is p bass special has a ICS1310xxxx serial hence made in indonesia in 13 but i thought the specials were no longer produced, ive since seen two other models which im keen on as appear are the p/j configuration but again im unsure as to what model they are, i think one is a special the same as above but older that has serial ICS0902xxxx so again made in indonesia but 09 and the s prefix possibly meaning special???
anyway the last one ive seen and im pretty sure is a actual VM is serial IC05080xxxx so again indonesia but made in 05.
anyway my main point is can anyone direct me to somewhere to pull the spec for these bass guitars so i can find out specifically what pick ups these models come with and if they are in fact p bass specials or vin mods?
any help would be greatly appreciated as this is really doing my head in now and not to mention preventing me from going out and buying a bass.

Excellent first post, Craig, and welcome to the Fender forums. I don't know of any Squier bass experts here that can help you. Give Fender Consumer Relations a call and see if indeed the 'S' prefix does indicate Special. Also they would be able to tell you any differences, if at all, in pick-ups. Keep learning, and you'll be the Squier bass expert! Good Luck! :)
