So it might not have the graphite?

I think not. Take off the Truss rod cover and read the number penciled in there. That is the production #. IF we were making basses like this with or without the graphite bars, the ones WITH the graphite would have a letter 'G' penciled in near the truss rod nut. Still, I will have to do some research and see IF I have records going back that far for the production. This model was only made for a year or two at the most.
