Felpsy, welcome to the Forum! Your Blue Pearl StingRay lefty with a rosewood board and matching headstock was completed on Oct 14 2004 and was of course sent to our distributor in the U.K. I suppose the color and the fact that the headstock is matching makes your bass not all that unusual as Blue Pearl is a fairly popular finish, but my guess is you may have one of the only lefty versions like it in the country ... if not the only one.

Cheers and congrats!

As stated so obviously in the thread I just made, my new Bongo HH Stealth arrived today. Serial # F22135.

Please, tell me allllll about it

 

[5Stringer]

Well ... this is almost anti-climactic after all of the photos! This Bongo 4 HH Stealth black beauty was made into an instrument on 2/03/09 and was shipped to the boys of Bass Central. Nice pics and congratulations on your new 'go to' bass! I love my Bongo as well ....

Nick, yes! Nice choice! 10/26/04 is the big day ... should be a Sapphire Black with a black ice pickguard. Shipped to GC.

Dan

Really? That's exactly a year before my youngest as born. Now I have to hang on to it for a while!

 

[5Stringer]

Guess this means a "double-birthday" party from now on ... hope your youngest doesn't mind sharing the day!

He already does... in fact both my boys were born on days other close family members (grandma and cousin) were born! This makes it a triple birthday!

Sure, this Sterling was completed on 9/06/96. The specs line up with what you have, which is a good thing. It was originally shipped to Hames Music in Gaffney, South Carolina.

Thanks 5Stringer for the info.I worked at Hames Music in gaffney s.c. from 1990 till 2000.I was the guitar tech among other things. I would have been the one that done setup on this Sterling when it was new before putting it on display.What goes around comes around . Thanx again for the info. John Dill

Hi Dan

Another recent acquisition - could you please give me the lowdown on E11876? Finish, pickguard, neck, build date and where it was shipped to would be great!

Thanks, Oliver

Dan,
If I may impose again, E54107 arrived at my door today. I got very lucky twice in one week, and am very much enjoying the new love affair with EBMM.

Oh, and Polyester Clear Coat Rocks!

Thank you so much for your time!
