From my observations, sometime in '61, when the Capri body style was revised.

My old 4000s, B9143(Last bass # for '59) and B9148(Very early '60) had two.

Can't always believe what you read, but in two different Rick references I read it was introduced in '57 in the Combo 650 and 850.

Thanks, guys.
I have no personal experience with the early Combos, obviously.

Dave Gilmore(forumite) had an 850 for sale...
Somebody ought to ask him.....
Re: Double Truss Rod ?
My 60' 360 has a single truss rod.
