Well, if the number turns out to be X15042, then what you've got coming is a SUB Sterling in Textured Red built on 5/2/06.

Hi Dan,

I have here a EB Stingray #E18267. Can you please tell me the date of manufacture, the woods used, and what the color is called... it is sort of a green... also, is that pickguard called "sparkle" or something else...?

THANKS A MILLION!

**5Stringer** · 12-03-2009, 04:58 PM

MrB, welcome to the Forum. Your bass was completed on 12/06/00. The finish was called Metal Flake Green. The body should be poplar (though it could be ash), the neck is solid maple with a matching headstock. It left the factory with a black pearloid pickguard, can't say what it may have on it now. Nice find!

hello,
Can you please date my stingray 4 bought new a couple of years ago from Dolphin music in liverpool england serial No. E53726

it has been my main gigging bass since purchase (with none of the supposed g problems!)
I Am very pleased with it and think its a 'keeper' (mind you the new vintage looking 2eq versions with the muted bridge look tempting mmm....)

Hi,

My best friend (and bass player too) has just purchased a used Sterling (black/maple). S/N is F 04873.

Hopefully I was right telling him it was built late 2001 ?

Please EBMM people, if you can give me a bit more information about this bass, thanks in advance !
