Hi Derek,

I just purchased a MM SR from Ebay. The serial number on the neck plate is: E29886. Can you help me with the year?

In passing, I had been looking for a sting ray and finally found this one on ebay with a buy it now option at $699. The seller said it was in mint shape, the guy owns a music store. When I opened the package I swera to god the thing was brand new. I cannot find a blemish, or smudge for that matter. The guy must have polished it and used latex gloves to case it. LOL

Can you hear the enthusiasm?

According to serial numbers I've seen, that is an extremely late model bass, like late 2002 or even 2003 (current).

Sounds like you got yourself a deal there, amigo.

Thanks Bovine

Thanks for the response. When I got the bass I could not believe how pristine it was. I do feel like I got a good deal and a dman fun bass to play.

regards,

Derek is the man with the word but this may help in the meantime:

E27881 01/02
.............

E30805 05/02

Mind you, an occasional serial crops up that is not chronological.

>>>>>>I do feel like I got a good deal

Good one!

I have a stack of serials which I'm sorting at the moment and plan to put them up on the Forum. :)
