Mine is #749 & was bought new in 1978. I would say 1980/81?

I had the 1013 serial # on mine that was a 80 - 81 that I got off Al Brisco. Steve Smith now owns it Image Wow that's close eh Steve..?

Steve; I got mine in and around 1980-81, new & it came with a Black Widow although they came with whatever you wanted and I heard that generally, they also came with JBL's x15". The only problem I had with mine was that, from me throwing it around on the road, it needed a bass capasitor as it did lack a little bass for years when I had it, but since then, Steve Smith has had it fixed up to snuff and it sounds great now. I use to just crank the bass control to the top and also with the parametric EQ I cranked the bottom end, to make up for the lack of bass Image

Steve,, also I just reallized, from looking at some old U.S. customs declaration forms that my serial # was actually 1310 so I am guessing that your webb is probably around a 1979 or so...?

I hope you have fun with your Webb Image

Take care, Steve Spitz [|:-o}-<,
