I just bought this a few days ago, it was advertised as a Sterling by Musicman bass. I havent seen one layed out like this so Im hoping its not a fake. Im not that familiar with the different models, so Im looking for some help. I will also post the serial number in the serial number database. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like an Sterling By Music Man SUB Ray
5 made in Indonesia with an Ernie Ball logo.

If you click in, and click in again, on the head
stock pic, at maximum detail the EBMM logo
decal is very clearly on the surface, not under
the finish as on a real EBMM.

Is a matching head stock an available option
on an import SUB ? Maybe the honest logo is
hiding under non-original head stock paint ?

Always thought my EBMM headstock logo, and the made in SLO on the back was silkscreened, not a waterslide type decal. Am I wrong?

But that does look like a faked EBMM.

What does the back of the headstock look like, does is have backside logo?
