Hey,

I recently bought a damn nice Stingray. Serial number is ******. I think it was build in 1989, but I am not sure.
Its neck has an bullet truss rod, maybe one of the last, before EB switched to truss rod wheel?
Can you give me detailed infos (Bodywood, etc).

Thank You!

This thread is a resource you can use to find the production date of your bass.

Post your serial number and we'll get back to your shortly with the "date of birth" (DOB) for your instrument.

This thread is also a good place to have your serial number on record in case it's needed in the future for insurance purposes, etc.

**Please note: We do not have any serial numbers for the Pre-Ernie Ball Music Man instruments in our database. You can check this site for more info on the early Music Man instruments (This site is not run by the Ernie Ball company):

SERIALS Pre-EB - Musicmanbass.org, Music Man, Musicman, Music Man Bass, Musicman Bass, Music Man Guitar

If you have any other questions regarding your instrument, please email Music Man Customer Service at:

Hi,

Serial Number 8027632

Natural Stingray 2 eq - 80s ?

The "8" will be a "B" and should be around c.1988. "B" serials were not recorded. You should find a date written with a black marker pen underneath the crescent moon controll plate. That will be the preamp date but puts you in the ball park. Dates are also found on the neck heel and neck pocket on the body.
