So... are LP serial numbers sequential from the start of the product line?

Well, let's see...0001-1200 is the Tribute, which would suggest the Stage I started at 1201. I'm not sure when they switched to the Stage II but my Stage I is 1326, which tells me that I'm the 125th person to purchase a Stage I. On the other hand, all Stage II's have an additional 0 at the beginning of the number. So even if mine was the last Stage I made, the first Stage II would be 01327 if they truly are going in order. Now that I've confused myself, I'll leave you guys to work it out. :lol:

The Tribute SN is displayed as TE000xx of 1200 ,I am pretty sure the Stage started at 00001 or something like that.

I guess the count starts at 0001 instead of 0000 just to show it's an analogue synth ...?
:wink:

Yes, because the serial numbers for a digital synth would be like, 0000 followed by 0001, then 0010, then 0011, then 0100, followed by 0101, etc. :lol:

As they say - there are 10 kinds of people, those who understands binary numbers and those who don't.

And I just had a big belly laugh at Assar's joke.

There are two kinds of people.

Those who divide people into two types...

...& those who don't! :wink:

There are three kinds of people. Those who can count, and those who can't. :wink:
