Two Basses With the Same Serial Number! Uncanny!

[M Sterling]

So, I just realized that my US Lakland 55-94 and my NYC Sadowsky have the same exact serial number. It's in the 6000's. My mind is seriously blown right now.

Has this ever happened to anyone before? Should I take the Lakie off the market because of some weird fate situation? Am I making a big deal out of a situation that seems perfectly normal? Should I play those numbers in the Lotto?!?!?

It just seems like the odds of this happening unintentionally are very small and it HAS to mean SOMETHING, right?!?!? These are both pretty small companies and the basses were built over a decade apart, so it just struck me as super weird. I welcome any thoughts you guys have on this!

Pics or it didnt happen!

I'm struggling with this, because I don't really want to post pics of the serial numbers...

That's quite a coincidence, but considering zillions of coincidences happen every day, it's nothing to get superstitious about.

Lotto

 

[Iridescentone]

Yes, Lotto. Tonite!

And I'll be expecting a nice gratuity for the advice. (paypal is fine)

In hopes of riding your approaching cash cow, I also vote Lotto.
It has to happen.

The odds of those numbers coming up on two basses obviously is very low. For them to also come up in the lotto would just be sooooo incredibly much lower.


I would specifically NOT play those numbers.

Hahaha! I really have the worst luck and have never been very superstitious, but I may just have to play those numbers!

I've always looked at strange coincidences in life to be little signs that you are on the right path and to keep pushing on. Whenever there is a lack of weird coincidences like that, I start to question my current course. Believe it or not, this philosophy has proven itself true in my life more often than not. I'm having a hard time figuring out what this is saying though. LOL

Synchronicity... Still very cool.

Bad Karma to separate these two, you must keep them together for eternity now

Ok, so I could play any numbers but those. Gotcha, that totally makes sense.

You wanna try to convince Mrs. Sterling that this would be the case?!? LOL

Are you afraid someone is going to kidnap your bass or something if the serial number becomes public?

Well, maybe...

I read that it was a bad idea somewhere, but can't really remember why.

It's best not to post serial numbers.

I think this is SO NUTS, that if you send a photo of those SN plates to Fender, they will send you a CS with that serial for free!!

Wouldn't that be sweet!

That's what I figured. I hope you guys will take my word for it!

Theoretically it's because some thief can claim it was stolen from him, and now he's miraculously found it's whereabouts.

 

[Marko 1]

I take your word for it...

but then again, I was always the gullible type, lol…

 

[Iridescentone]

Thank you for not posting pics.

My Ouija board informs me that even just looking at those numbers at the same time could open a portal, whereby you may become demon-possessed.

Those aren't serial numbers. They're launch codes. Do not buy anymore bases. This is a nation security issue. One more match and mankind is doomed.
