NBD: 2011 Fender 60th Anniversary P-Bass

[organworthyplayer337]

Is this the 3rd year ? I was reading earlier about the serial numbers on these models, It's a 2011 model, but my serial number is a 2010 ?????

Yep! They probably used 2010 serial numbers! They’re known for doing that.

...It's a 2011 model, but my serial number is a 2010 ?????

Mine is a US10... too.
I asked the Fender Consumer Relations and here is what they said:
"...it looks like that serial corresponds to a 60th Anniversary Precision Bass produced in 01/2011 - and it's possible that your neck was made a month before or so of the release date and that's why the serial number looks like a 2010 serial."

Hello, two weeks ago i bought one fender p bass 60th anniversary. It's really really nice with a deep and punchy sound.

BUT

If i don't touch any string it makes a noise like if it was any problem with ground or mass ...

Is it normal? I have read different opinions and many people say that it could be made by interferences, but i have played in different places and the noise continues. The noise is specially when tone is in the highest, and disappears when tone is down.

You who own this nice fender, have you heard any buzzy sound?

Thanks a lot!!

Search "grounding issue" here on TB. That'll tell you more than I ever could.

Thanks a lot. I have tried searching information but, probably because of my limitations with the language, i haven´t found what i was looking for.

Thank you very much again!

Hi, I don't know if there is still a problem with your 60th Anniversary bass, but I have had one for 4-5 years and I did a lot of research on that model. I have been lucky enough to have had no problems with the bass at all. If I can be of any help, please let me know. Mikael
