Your S.U.B. 5 2EQ was completed on November 14th, 2003. The color is textured white. It was originally sold to Strings & Things LTD.



Serial number 38228 comes up as a StingRay 3EQ that was completed on July 28th, 1993. The color is sunburst with a rosewood fingerboard. Any chance the serial number could be something different?

Thank you Joel - and a rather excellent Sub it is as well.

Chicho - what we call honeyburst now was called sunburst back in 1993 - I have one also!! Vintage sunburst was a custom order colour and pretty rare in that era.

I own a black stingray 4, rosewood fretboard, made in 2011 with 2-band EQ. Serial no. E77889.
Can you tell me whether the EQ is boost/cut or boost only? And which preamp it features?
Thank!

Hello,
Just bought another! And it's a good one.
MM Stingray 4, 3 eq RW fingerboard. Serial (on bridge) 42785
Can I have Dob, colour (trans red, but darker than my other SR), body wood, any other details. I think it has a "Flea" bridge (mutes, offset grooves on saddles)
Thanks in advance
Jack

They are cut and boost but there is no center detent. It features the current preamp we've been using for quite some time.

Your StingRay 3EQ was completed on October 27th, 1994. The color is translucent red. The body wood is a mix of Ash, Alder and Poplar. Our serial number database doesn't have information on the bridges, but the flea bridges were used circa 1992-1994. They had the mutes, offset grooves, straight string pull and the grooves are sized for each individual string. It was originally sold to Strings & Things LTD.

Hi! I'm looking for information about my Stingray 4.
S/N: E23828

Thanks!

Your StingRay 3 EQ was completed on June 19th, 2001. The color is autumn red burst with the maple neck and matching headstock. It was originally sold to Guitar Center.

Our database is showing serial number 39810 as a StingRay 4 3EQ in the natural color with the maple neck that was completed on February 4th, 1994. Any chance the serial number could be something different?

Your StingRay 4 HH (S/N:E72031) was completed on March 11th, 2009. It was originally sold to Guitar Center.

Hello Joel,
thank you for the Information. Translucent red and Flea bridge is correct, but my stingray has no rosewood fingerboard? My bass has an full birdseye maple neck?
I bought it 1996/97 in Berlin in the Guitar Shop as a new bass.
Do you know to which Music Box shop sold this bass and what can happen, that this bass has an other neck?
