Hey Jeff there should be two numbers before the SC either
09 or 10 that relates to 2009 or 2010 build date. The serial
number is from around that time.

Congrats on the bass

Thanks Mica, I agree the look is just stunning, from every angle, but the sound is just as unique - powerful and crisp at the same time. I'll never be able to do it justice with my meagre skills but it certainly has a good home...
