There are a bunch of websites dedicated to specific model mostrites where you could get info, or do what I do, go on ebay check out a bunch of pictures of ones on there and see if yours matches any.

I didn't bother taking the neck off when taking these pics so I don't know if there is any dating info on the heel or in the pocket. I doubt this is a serial number but I dunno what it could be. Originally designed as a student model, a few months later changed to a more elaborate model with German carve, Moseley vibrato, bigger pickups. The guitar Johnny Ramone has used as his main guitar his entire Ramones career from 1974 to 1996. Here’s a collection of serial numbers of Mosrite’s cheapest electric guitar.

Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone could shed some light on this particular guitar (year, model, etc.), and has anyone restored one of these before. Cosmetically it's not in very good shape either. The pots are corroded and every note produces a pretty gnarly hiss. I've had this old Mosrite bass of my dad's for years and I always thought it was great looking but it's never played well.
