The “3 hole” version of the bass control plate appeared at the very birth of the instrument in 1960, and ran through all of 61 and into the early part of 1962. Conversely, most of the ’62 re-issues sport this style of plate, whilst the majority of the originals seem to come with the “4 hole” version.

Following on from the "3 Hole" version, the "4 hole" version became the standard part used on basses from 1962 until the modern era.
