Washburn Bantam XB???

Looks like a Bantam XB102 that the selector switch was changed to a blend knob.
Certain years they shipped with stickers with the S#.
OR its a XB100 somebody added a J PUP and a blend knob.
The reason I say this is, the odd knob locations are too close together.

I have thought the same thing. I'm just going give up this rabbit hunt. I will look a little closer next time.
I had to add. After this you are correct. XB102 made in 2000🤘😎🤘
I looked at a bunch of 102's and the spacing was everywhere. You are
my hero!!

I am lost. There is no visible serial number on the head stock or plate as expected. I think its very early 1994. I am so confused, and tired. I hope someone will give me some better results than Google. Thank you for your attention.
 
*****UPDATE***** OK folks. Thank you for all of your comments. You are an asset to this forum. I have a XB102 made in 2000. I wanted to get a bass like my first one, that took off to Neverland with Peter Pan.
I had left my band several years ago. Then had 3 strokes a couple of years ago. After I learned how to walk and talk again I needed to play. I didn't consult with my advisor. I originally had a XB200. Now, I can sleep and cease to stink up the thread.🤘😎🤘
