Hello gentlemen! I just purchased the 2005 special edition StingRay in Buttercream - beautiful bass and it comes with a kick butt case to boot! Here's the serial number -E45524. Any information you can provide about the bass would be great.

As a side note, after 15 years of playing, I'm a new convert to the StingRay family and I'm very proud to join the club. The bass is beautiful - just needs to have the volume nob re-attached (it came off for some reason), but that should be an easy fix.

Thanks!

Ernest Howard

Could you look up serial #F03996.

I just bought this Sterling used off eBay. It's trans red with matching headstock and a black and white pearloid pick guard and a rosewood fretboard.

Hello Dan,

I've purchased last weekend a LTD 2006 Bongo 4 HH Black, Rosewood, Black Pickguard, Matching Headstock, Gold Hardware, LTD Edition Emblem.

Serial #: F15535

Dan, can you provide me any information about this bass?

I'm so proud that I've got this bass! It's a real artwork and what a sound...

Thank you in advance!

To answer the query regarding the logos etc. the 2 "musicmen" are standing under the "A" string machine head with legs intact. It also does say "MADE IN SAN LUIS OBISPO CALIFORNIA, USA" on the back of the headstock.

will try and organise a couple of pics for you

thanks
Steve

Sounds like it may have been repainted .. as I said, sounds like a colorful history ....
