Re: Am I the only one?

Re: PB basses serial numbers?

I agree. P1000045 CANNOT be YY/MM/pn, There is NO month 00. It HAS to be MM/YY/pn ... ie production# 045, October 2000.

Re: DF524 or Fly Classic Hardtail ?

Here are the pics of my newly acquired Fly Hardtail.
Considering its 1994 vintage it's in remarkable condition.
And it's very RED! No hiding on stage with this one.

Thanks for all your input so far. What a great group this is.

DF524 or Fly Classic Hardtail ?

Hi, first post and no Parkers yet, but I'm looking at one of each of these next week. Any guides on pros/cons or what I need to watch out for? The Hardtail is '96 and the DF is ~2011. I'm normally a Strat/Tele guy and also use a Godin A6 for electric/acoustic blend. My 'seasoned' back is complaining...
