"Darth Vader" Stingray?

[RyanO'Neal]

Sorry, but i just don't see it. It looks like a Gothic bass.

Yes! Exactly the same issue as with the Stealth bass guitars.

Attachment 17362Have one myself it is a beauty. Love my Darth Vader EB.

I think that's just a standard black Stingray with a matching headstock. No painted neck, no black knobs, no black plastic control crescent. Still a nice bass, but not a Darth Vader model like the one the thread is about.

I looked up the serial number on the EB database (E21932...30 Mar 2001. Black with Rosewood. Black pg. Black control plate. Nick-named "Darth Vader Bass" by Ernie Ball.) does indeed indicate that it is in fact a darth vader"

after looking up the serial number i found out that it was indeed a Darth Vader bass, or so it says on musicmanbass.org. bassmonkeee brought up a good point why is the neck not painted, and why isnt the hardware black? Am i missing something here?? please help

This Stingray is not a Darth Vader bass. The build date is 2001 and last shipped in early 2002...Darth Vader Basses were made in the early 90's....So this one is a normal 6 bolt Stingray 3EQ in Black with rosewood board. Still a very nice Looking bass...
