Music Man Japan Made??

[Samooray]

Hi. I've found this o e-bay: Musicman Stingray EX Electric Bass Guitar Japan Made - (eBay item 300184951475 end time Dec-31-07 18:15:00 PST)

It is said, that this MM was built in Japan. I don't uderstand what's going on? Even it hasn't got an "Made in San Luis Obispo, California USA" writting on it..

WT(f)??

If you want to know what's said on this forum, use this search:

This is necessary, because the term "EX" is too short to be searched for by the forum software.
(Thanks for the tip to Mr Murashi!)

Looks like previous owner erased "Made in Japan" stamp from the back of the heackstock. I've seen on of these here in Belarus once.
