Edit: OK, I used the locator on the MM site and found my SR5 in the store's inventory. It is definitely Honey Burst. DOB would still be great to know. Thanks. It also said the build # was 154-70-20-03.

mynan, that is correct, and your bass was completed on 9/19/06.. Congrats on your new bass!

Serial # E14216

My guess would be 99/00 but this is just a guess !

Regards,

mullac

mullac, That would be a good guess as your Black Sparkle bass left the factory on 04/21/00.

Mike, yours was probably one of the first ones made, and was completed on 5/05/06. Nice! I imagine that the bass will have to be "broken in" for some years before you pass it down -

Thanks a ton Dan. I'm thrilled by this bass. Never been able to say that before and I'm kicking myself for not getting one sooner.

can you tell me when my sub 5 left the factory? sn: X04789

**5Stringer** · 03-01-2007, 11:13 AM

lreactl, sure can! Your SUB-5 was outta here on 11/12/03, then again on 2/20/07 for a minor repair. You must be the one who just picked it up from Jay's Music Center in Augusta, Georgia. Nice~!

Thanks alot Dan! Thats quite interesting because when i bought it, i new it was older but it is exceptional condition and now a scratch on it, the black body, with maple fingerboard and snakeskin pickguard are really beautiful. What is also interesting is that it was shipped to Tennessee and has somehow found its way into my hands here, in Manchester, England! What a journey it has made

. The Sterling truly is an excellent. Thanks alot, Steve.
