Help a newbie identify a bass

[KungFuKangaRu]

Hi all

Ive only been playing for a couple of months but recently felt the need to upgrade from the cheap Washburn I started with to something a little better. I’m not really a fan of the styling of Fender basses so I wanted something a little different and a guitarist friend sent me a link to this bass:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...333383091&rd=1

Blown away by its awesome good looks I bid on it and won the auction but other than the vague description I have no solid idea what it is? I hunted around the Internet after answers with no real success. My friend thinks it’s a model 3b but that’s a guess? Stuck ive come to the experts a little help guys?

Cheers

Dave

Not an expert, but by the logo style, and the control layout, I'm guessing it's a Model 3B like this one in the gallery.

Nice bass for sure. Congrats!

<font color="aqua">actually that's a Model 2B since it's a bolt on neck. Model 3b's had a neck through setup. She's a beauty, congrats and welcome to the forum! </font>

What's the diff between a 3b and a 4b?

Didn't a 4b have binding and sharkfins?
