I'll never really know. Had it for a few years then traded it as I did with all of my early basses. It cost about $750 new so I suppose it most likely was made in 1974.

My first was a 360-12 WB FG, purchased from a pawn shop for $350 in 1992.
My most recent acquisition was a '58 335 Capri MG.

That wasen't a WB, that was an OS! hahahahahha.
I think the WB strictly refers to the 24 fret models. to me anyways...

That is very strange indeed! I've never seen one like that either. Jeff, the fact that this one has 24 frets is what makes it odd.

Such a pity I sold it to pay for instant lawn in my back yard!
Foolish mistake #347!

We're all capable of that, Darren. Join the crowd. We've lived long enough to drum up some good ole mistakes.

O.K. I know that I will regret posting yet another laughable picture of myself. I purchased this at the late great Zapf's Music in Philadelphia in 1979. I traded in my EBO for it. I cannot recall when I sold it. The fireglo had a ton of pinkish tint to it. Great bass.

I bought my 1968 4001 in 1973 for $150 ... i played it for 33 years until I got hooked on 5 string basses ...

I didn't notice the 24 frets! How odd that is.

Jeff's 68 bass had 24 frets?! WOW!
Back to reality - that second pic looks like a typical Michigan winter day. Coming back to a state near you - and too soon.
