Music Man Serial Number Database

[5Stringer]

Just got my new Stingray HS today! Since you're giving out DOB's, could I get one for mine as well....as if you didn't have anything better to do with your time than look up serial numbers.

E50795

Jones, no problem - that's what I do!

Your Natural finish StingRay was completed on 12/6/06.

Just for history. I already know DOB of my bass, but still haven't got it home EBMM Sterling preseries #37523 was born 8/06/93.

But there is one thing I forgot to ask Dan: what is the exact name of color of this bass? It seems to be teal, but not so sure... Dan, please help me again if you can!

kasimka, this one is interesting. Yes the production date is 6 August 1993 (for you folks in the "down under' region). But the color in our database lists it as "Special". The color is a prototype, one that we never went forward with, sort of a predecessor to Pearl Teal, but with more blue. In fact, the entire bass is really a prototype, this being the year the Sterling was first introduced. Information is a bit sketchy here. This was originally sold to an EBMM employee, so you never know... there's probably a story here somewhere ....

Hey Dan,

I was recently smitten by a wonderful Sterling HS shown to me by my pals at Perkins Music.
I'm not typically an impulse buyer but this one blew my socks off so I had to make it mine..
I think it was pretty much out of the box when I got it in early May but see what you have for S/N F18133 in your files.

Thanks!

[kasimka]

Dan! Thank you so much! I always have unusual things happening around me I think it's because I had 6 finger when I was born So I will have a unique unusual bass named by BP It's really grate

Dan...how about 37125.

Appears to be the same as kasimka's Sterling-like Bass...no pg or pg holes, no neck plate markings and a headstock logo with just "Ernie Ball Music Man" (but doesn't name the Bass model). It was in the Music Myer (Europe) gallery.

Interesting to know how many same basses were made?

Gav, that's pretty weird .. this bass was indeed shipped to Musik Meyer, but it is listed as just being an ordinary black/maple Sterling built on 3/02/93.

I have to admit, I just don't know .. I know it's hard to believe, folks, but it's true .. I don't quite know everything (yet!)

I have seen one here that is similar in color but has red flames on it .... there may be one more stashed away in the bunker somewhere, but that's aboout it As far as what's out there in the world, you may have the only one (other than the one Gav just posted about.

You and Pete Dubaldo should forces to form "the 22-finger duo".

Hi , I'm John and I'd like some information about this bass E032238


that I probably will buy....thanks alot

[5Stringer]

Hey John, welcome!

This thread is actually for the guys who actually have already bought their basses, but since you didn't know, I will try to answer your question, even if your serial number has one too many digits in it ... if that 0 is absent, it becomes a Blue Pearl StingRay with a rosewood board originally shipped to Avenue Guitars in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. If that's not correct. please provide the correct serial number via PM.

Thanks,

Dan
