Jun 4, 2011 - I got hold of this bass a few days however I have no idea what model it is. Has no model numbers on the bass only a serial number. Information about serial numbers and production year Epiphoner guitars, with. These were manufactured in Korea by Samick between 1984 and 1995.

Anyone know how to tell when your Samick was made from the serial number? I just got one and would like to know when it was made but have no idea how the serial numbers run. It was made in Indonesia. Interesting to see that they are building a plant here in the US to make guitars and moved their US headquarters and distribution center to near Nashville.

They bought 18 acres, so far, and are going to produce American made guitars. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate learning how to tell when my guitar was made from the serial number. Adjustment program epson l120 gratis.

Let's try this approach. The Samick website does not have an email contact so that option is out. Does anyone know how to decipher the serial number on Samick acoustics to figure out when your guitar was manufactured? This info would be good to know and I am hoping someone on the forum has figured this out and is willing to share the info. Thanks a lot in advance. Got a nice Jumbo J 2 that sounds great and looks great and feels great.

The neck is like a strat and it plays really well, even the hard to get chords. Glad I got this inexpensive but great guitar. The tone is really nice on the bass end and bright on the treble.

The mids are great as well. It is my best acoustic guitar, by far, unplugged. The twentieth aniv. Seagull S6 will probably be the best when I get it back with the EMG active pickup. It has a solid spruce top. You need to watch those solid tops for cracking. I have a very good case for it.

But the Jumbo just has that natural unplugged sound I can't see why more people don't buy them. They are loud and full and very tonefull. They have that nice deep round bass that a lot of people are searching for by trying to find different strings. Try a Jumbo if you are up to it and want to get that really full bassy resonating sound. This Samick Jumbo J2 you can feel vibrate very noticeably when you play it, both in the neck and in the body. I like an acoustic that resonates and vibrates so that you can feel the vibrations.

Flashback to the old hippy days when real was real and plastic was plastic, if you know what I mean. Those were the days, eh?

Craigbeal, cdef is correct, it is a Samick B130NS, made in Korea in August 2001. The five piece lamenated neck and neck to body connection style were also very popular with Ibanez basses made both in Japan and later in Indonesia.

This body shape was adopted by Greg Bennett, who was contracted with Samick to design both electric and acoustic instruments, at about the time this bass was manufactured. Bennett produced four models under the Corsair line, CR-1 through CR-4, initiatelly made in Korea and then later in Indonesia. Earlier CR-1s were in a P-Bass configuration. The mid-range CR-2s and CR-3s, as well as the top-of-the-line CR-4s were, for the most part, PJ configurations. I believe these were all 34' scale basses. However, Bennett also designed and Samick produced an Indonesian made CR-1 mini Travel/Child's version of this instrument.

Craig, if you ever decide to sell this one. Feel free to contact me via TalkBass. I'd Definitely be interested in buying it.
