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?
