Does anyone have a complete and accurate list of Mosrite serial numbers and issue dates?

Thanks. DMG

No comprehensive serial number list exist. Here's an effort made a few years ago that might help give an idea when a various range of serial numbers were made.

Sorry Damosriteguy...my response was directed at Sarah's reply, not at your request for a serial # list. Still, thought it was funny!

Sorry, I was in a rush. ;)

Dasmoriteguy, finding and collecting exact Mosrite information is very difficult. This forum represents the largest repository of Mosrite related information on the internet.

It's my understanding that all Mosrite historical documentation, such as serial number lists, were lost in one or two factory fires. I'm going to guess that I have the most accurate list of Mosrite Celebrity serial numbers. I think I have collected about 500 so far. I have yet to collate all of that information to create a matrix that would reveal batch sizes, etc. As much as possible I collect pot codes so I can get an idea of when they were built. My website is WAY over due for an update and it's tough to find the time to do so. I had aspirations of doing a similar site for the Combo but that will likely have to wait until I retire in about 6 or 7 years. Alternatively I suppose I could add a couple of pages to my site and include other Mosrite data.

BRRanger, when I went back and read the thread, I had to chuckle as well. :D

Hi Dasmoriteguy,

here's my effort to do a serial number list, based on my collection of serial numbers since the year 2000 – anything but complete.
It's only about the Ventures model and related shapes – no Joe Maphis, no Celebrity, no Combo, no Brassrails etc.

Ventures model (+bass):

Ventures II model/Mark V:

Ventures model 1976-94 (+related like Mark VIII, M88, Nokie, Ramones etc.):

Have fun!

Hi Scoot.
Welcome!
V0031 sounds very enticing. We'd love to see a photo of it, if possible. :D
