I was actually very interested in this bass when it was listed and it's listed as a 77 but no 77 has the serial number on the neck plate.
The seller insists in selling this as a 77 and I asked for the serial number, he didn't bothered replying my message...
Too bad, I've already got another 76!
Communication is a key factor if you want to sell anything and these guys are terrible with that, believe me I've tried in the past directly from their website and even over the phone.
Anyway, I was able to pull the serial myself and it's an early 76.
