Normally, one of the folks who worked on the instrument at the factory, I've a "MA" under my 97 4003.

You will also occasionally find the names of the other finishers in the control cavity, there are a few Maria's around, and Cecilia I think.

All of mine have Rosa's name in the appropriate spot.

Would be nice if the folks at the Factory published the signatures, jobs they do / did, and a pic.

Would be nice to be able to write and say thanks to all the great people who build them for us.

Hey Jim. Can you mail me some pics of that 75th Anniversary bass of yours? Would love to see it up close.

You ever gonna play it at a gig or put it in a display case?

I have also got several signatures on my rick from 75. Earlier I posted some pictures of them and soon got mail from mr. arnquist who worked at the factory years ago.. He could tell me who all was. From the people who did the sanding, painting and so one. Pretty cool.
