The serial number of my Sting Ray is E00203

E00203 - DOB: 02/25/98

Music Man StingRay 5 serial number E30632

Want you to tell me all you can about my baby SunShine.

I was also wandering about getting my stingray fixed. My active pickup is not working and now I only have volume control. Can anyone direct me to a good place to get it fixed.

Thank you,
Wildcardbass

Wildcard, welcome to the forum!
E30632 - DOB: 05/07/02, Autumn Red Burst SR5. You might try replacing the battery and bending up the brass tabs on the batt box up so they get better contact. Otherwise, the preamp is actually the active component on your bass, and it might need to be replaced. Give us a call at (866)823-2255 and we'll get you taken care of.

Hi,

I just purchased a lovely second-hand Sterling bass.
Here is its serial F00610, could you tell me more about it ?

Thx!

F00610 - DOB: 08/27/98, Sunburst Sterling-4 H, ashwood body, maple neck/ fretboard.

DOB Sterling #B052103

Hello! I'm a new member looking for birth info about my MM Bass. It is either entirely or partly pre-EB, from the descriptions I have read about. I tried the suggestion above and entered a message with serial number but the website/server isn't responsive. Is there another resource you know of that may be helpful to me? Thank you, JFnM.

JFnM,
musicmanbass.org is really the only other resource for finding info on pre-EB MM serial numbers. If you can find a serial number that is in the same ballpark as yours, and can probably give you a pretty good estimate as to when your bass was built.

I have a Musicman SUB bass #X09358. I would like to know any info there is about it. Thanks

X09358 - DOB: 06/29/05, Textured Black finish, poplar body, maple neck/ rosewood fretboard.

Remainding responses will come tomorrow, thanks!

Seriously? I have a natural here. Black pickguard, ash body and maple neck (i'am a little unsure about that).

demon, I double-checked the SN you gave me and it's still coming up as a black SR5. Either the body was refinished, neck plates were swapped, or the SN is wrong. Please check again and re-post.

E28569 is the serial number of a stingray I just picked up. Beautiful turquoise, pearl pick guard, maple fretboard flamed neck. Most stunning instrument I've ever owned. Looking for year and any other info. Thanks,
Pat

E28569 - DOB: 02/28/02, trans teal 2-EQ SR4-H, ashwood body, maple neck/ fretboard, black PG.

I would like to know my Sting Ray's DOB. S/N E43666. I think it is from 2008 or 2009. It was the floor demo at my local Guitar Center and the only Sting Ray they had in stock at the time. I'm hoping it's not much older than that.

E43666 - DOB: 10/27/04, black SR4-H.

I just wanted to double-check. The SN engraved on the back of my instrument begins with the letters EB, but the quote from my original post was edited to remove the B from the serial number. I just want to make sure that this does not mean that you looked up a completely different serial number.

poit57, I don't think we've ever put out a serial number that starts with "EB". Also, "EB43666" is one letter/digit too long to be one of our serial numbers. Would you mind sending pictures of the bass and neck plate to me at [email protected] please? Thanks!

Hello everyone, could you tell me the DOB of my MM SR5 bass? Serial number is E54051.
Thank you in forward!

My stingray

Hey, I was wondering if you could give me more info on my stringray. SN E26652
It has a purple finish which I was told was fairly rare by a friend who owns a few Stringrays.

Any information would be appreciated.

E26652 - DOB: 12/04/01, trans purple SR4-H, 2-band EQ, ashwood body, maple neck/ fretboard, white pearl PG.
Trans purple is a discontinued finish which I believe was only offer in '01 and '02, so it is fairly rare.

Checking out Sterling 46830 (fretless pau ferro FB, honeyburst).
Thanks!
