Hi. In my opinion it's not an Ernie Ball Music Man Sting Ray. The tuners, string retainer and logo aren't right. The "Made in San..." logo on rear isn't right and is in also the wrong position.
I’d say fake unfortunately, lots of things not looking right from the decals to the wood finish to the tuners.
Can we have some more photos of the rest of the bass and also put the serial number though the data base and see what comes back
Unfortunately I believe it’s a fake for several reasons. Tuners aren’t branded, “Made in...” in weird place, the front logo looks strange to me as well. Headstock is too elongated on the nut side. Hope you can get your $ back!
Hi Dan2211, Judging from these photos, this is not a genuine Ernie Ball Music Man. We recommend only buying new instruments form authorized retailers. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email at [email protected].
