Hi Guys

I have been playing a P-Bass similar in appearance to that of Rob Knight (previous post 25/2/2010), a sunburst with same scratch plate, but Rosewood fretboard, same Decal, no date on front/rear headstock, nothing on visible part of neck or neckplate.

I decided to take neck off body to check - stamped on body & hidden part of neck is the same serial number:-

'X' (red) PB-62-EX (Black) - both the original pieces, but not i suspect a genuine Fender P-Bass???? It plays, feels and sounds awesome, not that particularly bothered, just an ID would be appreciated.

Cheers
Dave

:D :D :D

I could be wrong but the body stamp makes it seem to me that its a Japanese made Fender. Maybe someone sanded of the MIJ or CIJ the neck?
Just my $.02

Thanks for that exb445, at least the ball is rollling! You may of course be 100% correct?

That number doesn't even come close to anything on the Fender Website (is it just for US made models????) Is there a site for Japanese made Fender Serial numbers you know of? and why do you suspect a Japanese P-Bass?
