Dating StingRay 5

[Francesco]

Dear Ernie Ball support team,
I just bought a 5 string Sting Ray. The serial n. is (E05288).
I would like to know the year of fabrication of my instrument.
Thank you very much!
Best regards and Merry Christmas

To everyone waiting for a response from Greg to date your basses, Ernie Ball is on winter vacation, and probably will start work again on January 2nd, or possibly the 6th.
Buon Natale, Francesco.
