In the early 2000's, Fender made some custom shop instruments that had serial numbers that started with 'R'. My guess is that you have a Fender custom shop bass. You could call Fender and ask them about it.
Hi, It is a 1978 Bass S at the beginning of the serial number stands for Seventy preceded by the no 8. S8
You use the S in the serial number to find out when your Fender Mustang Bass Guitar was made. If the serial number starts with S05 it means that is made in the late 70s or early 80s.
1963 or 1964.
L series, 1965.
This depends. The Fender Jazz bass has been around for quite some time, so the year could be from the 1960's all the way to now. The best way to find out the year of your Fender Jazz bass is to look at the headstock. On the headstock, you will see a serial number... do a web search for that serial number to find the exact year of the bass.
