Bought this bass 16 years ago for a song but having a hard time dating it as the original nackplate was missing. The stamp on the heel of the neck reads; 5 381 109B. pat no 2,573,254 2,968,205 3,143,028 2,976,755
I have pics but don't know how to post them.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Sam

Hey Sammy. Welcome to the forum.
Post your pics to Photobucket or anything similar and you can link to them by using the Img button above your post. Just click on that, Img, and paste the link in your message.

To post photos on the Fender Forum they must be hosted online elsewhere like on a free Photobucket.com account. So upload them to your photo hosting first.

After uploading your photos to a third party image host do the following.

1. Start a post.

2. Wherever in the post you want the photo to appear CLICK on the brown "IMG" toolbar button just under the SUBJECT line. (This opens a "Tag" that looks like this: "[img]" telling the browser to fetch & display the photo stored offsite within the tag.)

3. COPY the DIRECT LINK of your photo on the third party host which will start "http://www.whatever..." (To copy, left click and drag on the link to highlight the entire link and then right click on it and select copy, OR you can hit CONTROL and "C" simultaneously without right clicking at all. Both methods work on a PC. Also in most browsers you can just RIGHT click on the link and select COPY SHORTCUT.)

4. Paste the now copied link immediately past the "IMG" opening tag in the post. To paste it right click and select PASTE, or on PC's you can hit CONTROL and "V" simultaneously. Either method works on PC's.

5. Once your link is pasted LEFT LICK on the brown "IMG" button on the toolbar once again. (This closes the tag and will look like: "[/img]" in the message.) You can then resume typing, or PREVIEW it to make sure it looks OK and then SUBMIT it if you are done typing and everything looks OK.

ZOD that is funny. Uh but what exactly are "TEH PICTURES?"

This picture posting thing comes up so often that I've posted instructions on my bass site's COMMUNITY page and in the future can just refer people to the instructions there.

Check the back of the pickguard for a sticker with a serial number. Look at the bottom of the pickup for a date stamp. Look at the pots for the date code.
