albertajunk Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I recently got this bass and was having a hard time getting a date. The story I have puts the guitar being played in the 60's. It has a silk screened serial number. #155652. From the pics I've seen on the web, this ones missing the hand rest (steel cover over strings). I believe it to be a eb 0 but I've been wrong before. Great shape. I did see pic of guitars with a dampener by the bridge this one appears to never of had one. 1 pick up with a volume and tone knob. The lower finger rest is there. Theres nothing on the truss cover. I hope the pics can do most of the talking. Any info or date would be great. Thank You. I only attached 2 pics. It took me an hour to figure out how to resize, lol. I'm sure it's a mess. I can add more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertajunk Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I took the back plate off and got this number off the pots. A-811-1053500k AT 137633 Does that date them to 1963'? Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I got 1964 Kalamazoo from the dater. Sound good? Â Yep, sounds good. I agree with everything you've listed, EB-0 model, pots date to '63, serial number comes up '64. Model availability and features also fit those years. Â A 1964 EB-0 it is!
