Had this bass for years and would like info. Thanks!

Hi Brent,
 
I'll have access to the records room again soon, so in the meantime, can you confirm the serial number of your bass. It's not quite the format I expect. Could it be 84D3030?

Hi Mica, the serial number does in fact read D843030 thanks for your help!

That's very unusual, Brent. Is your bass a Distillate model?
