Looking for the build date for a used SR5 ser. E12138. Gav's site lists it as 02/00, the sticker on the bass pot reads 11-16-99 ML. Also it's a one-piece body and I was wondering what wood it is (ash most likely?). Thanks!

Hey OG, you are correct - the finish is Radiance Red, and would be sporting a black headstock and neck, Limited Edition neckplate, and the build date is 5/11/04. Originally shipped to the legendary Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center.

Brim, the build date was 2/7/00. The wood is always ash on a Natural finish body. You may well have a one-piece body, no way to tell that by the serial number - you can only tell by examining the body.

Thanks very much - and it sat there apparently for years until I discovered it; it's on deposit for me when I return to the US of A in a few weeks. I suppose it's somewhat collectable. Appreciate it!

[5Stringer]

Great find! Congrats on your new bass! I love that finish and combo.

The SR5 HS is mine now. Formally belonged to Eggman. The Bongo is being sold on the Bay. Thanks for the info.

I hate to abuse your generosity, but can you provide provenance (a big word Jack taught me) on this one:
Music Man Sterling 4-String - Serial Number: F02759
Transparent Teal; Maple Fretboard; White Pickguard

[5Stringer]

Sure, here are the facts in this case: Built on 6/02/00 and originally shipped to Washington Music Center. All of the specs you listed line up perfectly.
