[5Stringer]

It was shipped to Sweden, I bought it in Belgium, went to work in China for 1 year with it, then moved to Korea for a year and now i'm living in Malaysia - and this is where the humidity is a parameter... Could it be stress crack from too much travelling?
Thanks for the info , Dan

Seems likely to me. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Bought in westside Norway in Bergen if anyone wondered. And i see that the bass is completed on a monday. Is that a good or bad sign

Okay, in the spirit of learning every detail possible about my new Stingray, what can you tell me about this serial number? E69453

 

[5Stringer]

Thank you so much, great service. Very interesting information. Do you have any idea how many black sparkle Bongo HH's were made?

I am thinking around 25 but not positive.

Dave, sometimes we use a 3-piece body - and the way the craftsman in our wood mill match them up it looks more like a 1- piece body than a 2-piece does.

Thx in advance

Dan

Yeah my natural fretless stingray was the same - 3 piece but I could have sworn it was a 1 piece when I first got it. It really was incredibly matched.

Oh and I got another serial number here...F12175

 

[davidn4925]

Please date my bass

I've just bought an Ernie Ball Stingray 5 in transluscent honeyburst - truly the most beautiful bass I have ever seen.The serial number is E13867. Any idea of its DOB, materials used and where it was initially shipped to.

Many, many thanks,
