This was sold to me as a 75 P Bass. I'm going to have the frets leveled plus some other work. These don't look like the usual markings to me. Wouldn't it usually have the month/year and neck shape stamped? I took pictures of the headstock and neck plate too if that helps. Of course, who knows if the neck plate is original?

The neck plate is not original (no "F" or serial number).
The part number stamped on the neck looks to be correct... 0103 is fretted maple with skunk stripe, and the last 4 digits 444? would be week 44 of 1974 (5th number is day of week... that's late enough in the year that it may have been installed on a 1975 assembly.

That's the information I was looking for. Actually Rich, the neck plate has the F and the serial number on it. It's just hard to see in that photo. Thanks!
