RelativePitch56,I searched a variety of internet web forums yesterday, and this was the one that revealed the most information:Read all the way down to the very bottom response.Here is the link to the OP's photo bucket images:On further thought, if yours is in good shape, I may have low-balled the value. I looked in the Blue Book of electric guitar values just now, and you paid a very fair price.Some models of used Squiers actually go for more than $200 or $250, but those are made in Korea or Mexico. Sparky2,Thank you for another stealth response of very helpful information.Right now the bass is at the repair shop getting a set up. I've got a new truss rod coming (neck adjustment needed, old rod is stripped), a red tortoise pickguard (swapping out the black one), shiny, new screws all the way around (originals are corroded) and of course a new set of strings.The tortoise pickguard is my way of cheaply creating a new look, without paying for a sunburst paint job.When I get it back, I will post new pics displaying the head and serial number, etc.Thanks much. My Red Tortoise Shell Pickguard came today! It's on and I'm Loving it! Got a neck adjustment, no buzzing, feels great, sounds awesome.I forgot to mention that this bass has a seal on the back that says 'CELEBRATING 50 YEARS'.

'Tears of Excellence'1946 - 1996. I really like the feel and sound of this bass.

Affinity series guitars and basses present the greatest and most time-honored Fender models with the greatest Squier value. From elemental Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars to Precision and Jazz basses (and even the student-friendly Bronco Bass), the very best in Squier value is right here.
It's a keeper.The serial number is PN600231 I don't know what the P in PN means but the N most likely (according to how Squier serial numbers work) means 'nineties' and the 6 most likely is the year it was made. As you will see on the photos, It says 'made in Indonesia,' right on the headstock.Attached are pics of my bass & serial number with the new pickguard on it.
