how about E53420? it's an SR5 that i just took home!

josh,

Your StingRay 5, which we show as a Tobacco Burst/rosewood, was completed just last month, 6/2/06 and sent to Music Stop in Moncton, but I'm sure you knew that!

Woof!

I did pick it up recently, and it is new unplayed still had the plastic on it. I also have a second one I was able to track down in Florida, which will be shipped to me in about 4 weeks after I pay the thing off!!! It is new as well, unplayed same specs as this Stingray. Lucky to have found them at all considering they are nearly 2 years old. I dont think green is the most popular color, but Envy Green is the SHEEET. Thanks,

JP

Very cool! To have 2 of the same exact bass would be cool - and I agree, the Envy Green Limited was a hot ticket! Enjoy!

eric,

This Sterling is Pearl Blue (we later switched it around to call it Blue Pearl ) and it was made on 3/22/94. The finish we used in those days was darker than it is now. The Sterling, like most of our instruments, was only available in a handful of finishes in those days. Since this was our only blue color we offered on the Sterling, the idea was to make the color pretty middle-of-the-road in terms of darkness/lightness.

Later, when we introduced darker blue colors like Midnight Blue Sparkle and Carbon Blue Pearl, the decision was made to lighten Blue Pearl, (as it was now called) up a bit.

Cool stuff!

Hi, I have just aquired a most gorgeous 'ray serial number 33883 can you tell me how it left the factory ?. It has the most fantastic birdsye neck, and what I believe is "bluebust" colour. Pictures are on the pic gallery page. Can you give me any history ?. Thanks Ade

Thanks eric. Will do

[Rod Trussbroken]

Thanks eric. Will do

As an after thought, I thought B027445 was your Red 1988.

If not, do you have the serial and date of the Red.

I have one pic of the White 1988. Do you have any more?

Ade,

Sure. This bass was completed on 9/9/91 and shipped to our UK Distributor. The color is in fact Blueburst, which we used to offer on the StingRay/StingRay 5 until 1994 (We still offer it on the Steve Morse guitar, now called Morse Blueburst). The reason it was dropped for the basses? Difficult and time-consuming to shoot, and by 1994 our backorders were getting to be out of control, so this was a time-saving measure.

The body wood is poplar, the neck solid maple. There were less than 600 StingRays made in the Blueburst finish.

Rockin' bass!

Greetings from Hungary,
I have got a Sting Ray 5 3EQ with Piezzo Transculent Orange Bass with E20295 serial number.
I would like to know what year it was made.

Thanks your help,
David

[5Stringer]

David,

Your Absolutely Gorgeous bass was built on 1/12/01. (I say this because my main bass is also a trans orange rosewood with piezo!)

Sweet!

Thanks for the info Dan, The Stingray certainly has caused a bit of a stir on the forums, Im in love with it already, It was in a bit of a mess when I picked it up, but it has cleaned up nicely. Next step a full setup and service at my local EB dealer in Swindon UK.
