Fender serial #s DO NOT use the last 2 digits for the date. For an older one, I'm not sure, but looking under the pickguard MIGHT have the date(my 78 telecaster has it on the end of the neck under the pickguard. At some point, I believe around 76-77, they adopted the system that they still use(for American made models). It is a letter followed by a series of numbers. The letter tells you the decade, S=70s, E= 80s, N= 90s, Z= 2000s. For example, I've got a Strat right here next to me, serial # N8960183. It's a 98. If your bass doesn't have a letter at the beginning, it's older than mid 70s. My 78 tele has S8#####... but the ones from a few years earlier don't have the letter and I'm not sure how to tell the date by the serial #.
