Hallo gentlemen. I'm from Russia so sorry for my bad english.. I own stingray bass 4. . The problem is that I got this bass several months ago аnd I know nothing about this guitar. . it is rather old, there is no pickguard, but as far as I know sound is warm, deep аnd so it's nice. . I thought that it was something like hand-made guitar. . because I didn't find any serial number or stamp ''made in USA''. . . BUT, several days ago I found the serial number on the bridge . . it is ''B238756''. . so men, I want you to tell me anything you can about this masterpiece:-D I want to know when it ''was born'' аnd the city of its birth. . аnd how can you value it? please help me. . thank you all. .

Hi Pog-ON.

Can you check the serial number again.

Hi Dan

I'm really curious about the 2 SRs that I have. Serial numbers 32989 & 57219. Any and all details would be welcome, especially about the Blue Burst; I'm curious if this was one of the last ones with this finish. Thanks for your help!

32989 - is a 3 EQ Trans Blueburst/maple, built on 4/18/91. The color was discontinued in 1994, so there were plenty made after yours - sent to GC in Roseville, MN.

57219 - StingRay 5 Black w/rosewood fretboard, also sent to GC in Roseville, MN.

Nice -

Dan

The series of numbers is what we call a build code. This is how we identify instruments through the production process.

The 130 identifies the bass as a 2-EQ StingRay.
The 02 tells us that it has a White finish.
The 20 tells us that it is to have a rosewood neck with a plain maple headstock on it.
The 03 indicates a tortoise shell pickguard.

The 5220525 is simply the work order number that tells us, among other things, to which dealer the instrument is sold to.

Now you know our seeestem!
