Confused

In the past we used equal amounts of poplar or ash, and a small amount alder, we are using almost all ash now. We always use ash on translucent finishes.

99.99 stingrays have been made with ash and 100% for at least the last 8 or nine years

And I´ve seen few serial numbers "alder recognitions" for transparent finish....

"in the past" meaning no specified time, meaning not the last 8 or 9 years. Bearing in mind the stingray model is 33 years old... 8 or 9 years is nothing. I know in the 90's they used a few different woods but as they said, recently (and by recently i mean this decade), they have been using mainly ash.

I don't are about woods, but if there going to be made out of two different types of woods, the instrument should be labled as to which type.

maybe I´am little slowly...but for me it means 99,99% Ever and 100% last 8-9 years...

Yes 99.99 out of 33 years is 32.99 years and 9 years out of 33 is 27%

....
Just having a little fun.

Again I don't care what my bass is made out of. As long as it sounds looks and plays good. But others disagree.

If there is a relevant question, ask it and I'll either tell you the answer or get you the answer if I don't know.

But this question of what woods are being used and what woods have been used along the way appears to have been answered and does not deserve a load of un-smiley faces.
