80's or 90's Squier Bullet Bass

Trying to find some information on this bass. Can't find what I'm looking for dating when this was made. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone else have one of these? I think I found a winner plays great and sounds like pbass.

Don’t tell anyone but the Korean built E7 series Bullet 1 are sleepers. Mine has one of the best necks in my collection. I love this bass. As does my buddy BluBasPlyr.

Torino Red seems to be the most common. Followed by black then white. I have red but want the whole set.

I don’t know much, less about the basses than the guitars. I had an early 80’s Fender Bullet guitar in red. It had the metal PG with the folded up end that was used as the tailpiece. If I recall they were developed as a intro level instrument and for a while, they used up parts that were on hand. Mine had a leftover Tele neck and leftover Mustang pickups. The body was heavy plywood. I read someplace years ago that they made the bodies out of plywood for the first 6 months of production.
Yours must be a little older since it is a Squier model and not a Fender like the earliest ones were. My experience is that they were pretty nice sounding and fairly well built instruments.

The pickgaurd and bridge were changed by the previous owner. I have to say the smaller body is nice. The neck is pretty chubby compared to my jazz bass though.
