Hello everyone, I'm about to buy an used JB TB-4, but surprisingly there's no production date in the sticker underneath it, though there's written ROHS ITC42
TB4 0175
Anybody can help me?
 
The older SD pickups did not have production dates on the label. I have notes from a lot of Masta' C's posts on pickup age. Just not many on Trembuckers. He will likely see your post and be able to give you a date range. Linking in any pictures you have of the top and baseplate will help.
 
That's definitely a mid-to-late 2000's TB4. It was more common to see "ROHS" designated in the years immediately following the directive, which became law in 2003, so it's certainly no older than that. It's most likely somewhat newer, around 2006-2010 or so, after the directive was more widely enforced. I can't give you an exact date, though.
