I know this has been brought up before ad nauseum (my apologies), but the MIJ dating still befuddles me. And since I am toying with selling mine sadly, I want to make sure I am understanding and representing it accurately. So I have a Fender Power Jazz Special.. as mentioned above.. lol I am noticing that some have the standard bridge, this one seems to have one that is "meatier" and I do see those as well on line.. see the pic.. (that one is not mine, just looks exactly like it, same bridge, contours, etc) The serial on mine is E 911XXX when you "date" it on line, seems to hit you with the "range".. I would rather try and be more specific based on other factors if possible.. ie that bridge, etc. Maybe that is not possible, so I get that. Actually, just saw one that has it 1984-87.. seems legit. Great bass, all original, I am still on the fence, just trying to get more info so I can change my mind and figure something else out. lol Thanks as always!
