Music Man Serial Number Database

I am sure you meant this the other way around ... the current SR5s and all SR4s have alnicos ....





Hey all, I am back from a long weekend ... Mike, it appears your bass has ceramic pickups as we started shipping them with Alnicos on March 8, 2008. Yours was completed on March 12 2007. We show the bass as a White maple, or as we like to say, an albino ...

Dan

Awesome, thanks yo. Appreciate it.

Dan,

I played a SR5 the other day at a GC. Its ser# E64811. It sounded different than other SR5's I've played. Did this one have the alnico pickup in it? Or was it a case of the strings hadn't gone dead yet.

Thanks

shep, if you mean it was different in a good way, then it is because it has the alnico pickup - if it was different in a bad way, then the setup was messed with and the strings were dead

Actually that serial number indicates the bass was made too early (2/15/07) to have the alnico pickup, so it would proabaly have to be the strings.

Thanks Dan, it looked too new and the strings were in good shape. Must have been sitting in a warehouse somewhere for the last year.

Is it possible to get an approx ser# start for the alinco SR5's. I would really like to hear one (then maybe own one) That way in my travels I could just check ser# without posting "Is it alnico yet?"

thanks,

I've already bought my first musicman.. it is a stingray 4 with serial number of e28960.. i really wanna know about the years of manufacture and the details..highly appreciation for your help

[Lonnystingray]

My Stingray5 has S/N E18550, would very much appreciate more information on D.O.B. date of shipment and so on.

It's a beautifull Maple - H - Vintahe Sunburst - white pickguard. Bought in the Netherlands somewhere in 2001 (I believe).
