What can I learn from the other stamped number on the sticker?
Picture won't attach ......blast. Anyway, does any one know where I can find more specific info on these numbers (maybe they are FON's)

Hello Wold,

Welcome! The ink-stamped number at the bottom of the label is the date that the instrument was completed in ‘final assembly’.

In your case that would be: 1972 November 13th

Stamping these dates was only done during a very short period and was abandoned not too long after your guitar was made.

Sincerely,

Hans Moust

It was indeed. The day my father died.

That is sad. It makes this bass even more special in a way.
