Serial Numbers
Did you ever think about when your Chris Larkin instrument was built?
Well from the late 1980ies on this question can easily been answered by just looking at the serial number at the back of your headstock. You’ll find a six digit number stamped into the wood. this number can be split into three pairs. The first two digits are the year, the second pair is the month and the third pair is the number of instrument Chris started in that month. So if your serial is 920501, the bass was started in May 1992 as the first instrument in May.
