Decoding a Ibanez Bass Serial Number

Hello!
I'm trying to identify the information about an Ibanez SR800, but I couldn't reach a conclusion with its serial number.
The serial number is C 5010572 4. Made in Korea.
I tried using the Ibanez Serial Number Lookup tool, but it didn't work.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
 
The likeliest possibility I can see is:
C = Cort factory
5 = 1995
01 = January
0572 = nth guitar made at that factory in January 1995
4 = ???

 
I also believe that's correct.
As for the number 4, it was my mistake as it doesn't exist.
The bass needs some repairs, but it still has a great sound.
Thank you!

Ok! That's right!
It's only fair. Here are some photos.
Hope this gives a better idea of its condition.
Unfortunately, it's not mine.
It will be sold eventually, but it's in São Paulo, Brazil.
