(Number 073 of 500 made. I don't have it anymore, traded it for my '83 Alembic)
Every Fender instrument (also Squier I think) got the little gold anniversary sticker on the back of the headstock in '96.

Here's the complete anniversary collection + the neckplate of the above bass:

Check
and there's little difference between the Limited editions and the Standard series, only optical (Flame Maple front and back (veneer I think), Antique Sunburst, Gold hardware and the engraved neckplate)
I hated to see that bridge pickup routing when I removed the pickguard, definitely took some of the "magic" of a limited edition instrument.

Sorry, I forgot to mention: I love that combi of Black body/Black pearl pickguard :bassist:

Thanks guys.

The pickguard looks even better in person. Its turns more yellowish when you take a picture of it, and the bass turns more green too..lol. There is a little bit of gold that stands of the green in person which matched the guard really well. Impossible colors to take pics of..
