Buy fender bass 2008

Any particular reason that an early production American Standard , manufactured in very late 07 would be undesirable?

Mine happens to have an extreemly low 08 serial number, and I can't imagine one that was built a day or two before it would be any different.


ADDED: The first few new American Standards I played had late 07 serial numbers, and were absolutly killer basses by the way.
 
Here are some 2008s:

If the description says "HMV Bridge (high mass vintage)", then it's a 2008. (Experts, correct me if I'm wrong.)

There is a relatively small chance that it could have an 07 Serial Number, as production on the new American Standards started before Jan. 1st of 08. The first few new American Standards I played had 07 serial numbers.

I honestly don't know why that would matter to anyone, as it's still technicaly an 08 model, but the O.P. seems to have a preferance for something built in 08.
