Serial #E40444

Hi,

Just bought a stingray off ebay, and am trying to determine it's DOB - the original owner was unsure, but said he'd bought it recently.

It's a 4 string, black body, black PG, 3 band, rosewood board. Serial E40444

I've had a crush on these things since i first saw one in the 80s... played on a few in the 90s, but never owned until now. Love that punch! Plus, arg, is there are better *looking* bass in the world? :)

Thanks for anyone's help in tracking down the DOB!

Hi Guys, I bought this brand new! from a shop here in the Netherlands, but I've got reason to believe it's about 9 years old! The bass is in absolutely 100% perfect condition. You get to wonder what happened with it all these years. Not being played that's for sure!

Stingray 5 E02427 Honey Burst, white pickguard, maple 3eq.

Cheers

Mich, this bass was completed on 6/05/98. That is a totally rare find! All the specs you listed match up with our records. that is cool!
