Hi, Dan!
I'm new to this forum.
My serial no. E66955 (SR4)
Thanks!

Hey junky, Welcome! Your StingRay HH Black/Rosewood StingRay was completed just about 6 weeks ago - on 8/22/08 and shipped to Royal Music in Brooklyn, NY.

Hi Dan, My Stingray # 33049 is prefixed with an 'E', making it E33049, something I didn't know was relevant , sorry about that.

Looks like around 2002 I reckon?

Yes! I would say that is relevant! Your 2-Band EQ StingRay in Vintage Sunburst and a rosewood neck indeed was completed on August 20 2002, then on Sept 6 began winging its way to the United Kingdom.

Now it all makes a lot more sense -

Cheers

Rob - why - thank you!

Your jewel was completed on June 30 2000, and was also shipped to Strings & Things Ltd., our benevolent distributor in the U.K. Where it went from there you'd have to check with them.

Cheers,

Dan

Kristopher,

Besides the ones from NAMM and that went to Mighty Dave LaRue, there were only 2 that were shipped before yours (that went to DuBaldo's) - Bass Central and Bass Northwest.

Oh - and yours was made on April 15th this year.

Cool ~

Yes, this was a special run we did just for our hallowed Japanese distributor, Kanda Shokai. I believe there were about 85 of these Lake Placid Blue StingRays. The actual build date on yours is July 28 1999, but they were all made around the same time. I would have thought the neck would have been painted black. ... hmm .. and ah yes, the minty green pickguard - a refreshing instrument indeed!

Sweet

I would have thought the neck would have been painted black.

Hi,Dan!
I am relieved to hear your advice,and many thanks!

It's neck has not been painted black,but has been painted LAKE PLACID BLUE.
It's body and neck and head are all painted in LAKE PLACID BLUE (like bongo).
It is bright and beautiful SR.

Thanks.

James, this baby was built on 4/05/05 and went originally to Steve's Music in Montreal. I would guess this was among the first of the Stealths built -
