myname Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi, I have this same bass, neck plate says; "Hand crafted in Korea by Epiphone, the epiphone company, Nashville, Tennessee USA, (serial) s5040173" - mine is the same colour as this one, just my pickguard is plain white, almost all else the same (headstock, pickups, colour, non-reverse/reverse etc) My truss rod cover is white and has the "E" logo on it in black, and the headstock is plain black. Anyone out there know how to date these with the serial?? Thanks --sorry if I've posted this twice, I'm new to this-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflepfan Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 According to the Guitar Dater Project: http://www.guitardaterproject.org/epiphone.aspx Your bass was made at the Samick, Korea Plant, April 1995, Production No. 0173 Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bean Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hiya, nice bass. Here's mine - Wondering, though, if anyone has ever found a source for new pickguards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
