I have this one. I believe it is from 79, otherwise correct me. This is a low end model 40 as you can see on the neck stamp. The tuners only have 3 screws on the back vs 4 screws on higher models. The bridge has brass on higher models, mine do not. Apart from that I do not know what the difference is. Maybe the pickups ? Does any one knows? Anyway it is 100 % original, even the Tokai bag. Plays wonderfull and the sound is in my opinion amazing.
Does any one know if the pick ups are the same on Hard Puncher bass model 48- 60- 80.
What is the difference ? Tuners, bridge, saddle, wood,...ect..? Thanks
just received this bass. # is 800182,sold as a 65 but no stamp on neck. Neck is inked with either 6 maybe 8 hard to say, pickup cavity and neck cavity both stamped 8=18 N, which would be early production ? Pickups are stamped B, output 10.5K
