Is this a legit EBMM 5?

The seller said it has no serial number, and I asked him to look on the neck plate, and bridge. Any suggestions?

I can see a serial number on the bridge plate in those pictures. Right in front of the middle saddle. Looks legit to me. Looks to be from before they were doing the waxed neck.

From what I can see, the serial number is 52204:

Serial # 052204
Manufactured April 1st, 1991
Model BASS 5-STR RED TRN ROSEWOOD

Sure.

Seems good.

For what it's worth (and from memory) the body wood back then for Trans Red was Alder.

I think it’s a combination of the tarnished pole pieces (it’s got cool mojo) and not the best photos, it looks a strange shape in the second photo so that could contribute to the question mark.
