Age of my Stingrays

[drewk]

I have two beautiful stingray basses, both are 4 stingers and was wondering what age each of them is?

The first is natural blonde with black scratch plate serial Number 45989 this I puchased from a dealer in '92
The second is black with white scratch plate and mutes serial Number 32127 this I picked up by chance at a really really low cost in '98 (recently had it fulled serviced by Tony Thomson - Lutherist - and the neck was dated '82)

Many thanks

Drew

If you go back and look at the thread subjects page, in the top half of the page there's a thread called 'Musicman Serial Numbers'. Post your serials there....

If this is a preEB model, then back during that time the serial would start with a B0xxxxx. If it really is a preEB (before '84) then there will be no serial history since EB didn't own Musicman back then.
