Trying to date my Crafted in Japan Blue Flower Pbass.
Fender site says Japanese instruments are:
P+6#s= 1993-1994
Crafted in japan: P+5#s=1999-2002
Printed on my bass is: "Crafted in Japan P094_ _ _".
So I have a Crafted in Japan with P+6#s but I bought it (I thought) new in 2004.
Any ideas?

From what I've seen ... the Fender site on dating is full of mistakes.

Deleted some of what I typed .... I thought I had some answers....

According with this http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3JqoqJ1iQ9U/T ... rjsn02.gif
it's a bass built between '99 and '02 if you have CRAFTED IN JAPAN decal on the rear of the neck. The number "zero" after the letter "P" should not be counted. So you have P and 5 numbers.
If you had had the MADE IN JAPAN decal then your bass would be built in 93-94
