Kermitnt - One of our moderators, Gav (Rod Trussbroken) will want to weigh in as we have no records from pre-Ernie Ball instruments. In the meantime, good info can be gotten from his "unofficial" Music man bass site: Home - Musicmanbass.org, Music Man, Musicman, Music Man Bass, Musicman Bass, Music Man Guitar

It could be a late Pre-EB Bass or an early Ernie Ball Bass. Is it possible to send me pics of the front and rear of the headstock and likewise with the body.
My email is:

Thanx, Dan. Any further info on the woods used? Cheers

scoot, a a Black StingRay made in 1990 would have a poplar body. The Sterling, as you probably figured, is Southern ash.

Hallo gentlemen. I'm from Russia so sorry for my bad english.. I own stingray bass 4. . The problem is that I got this bass several months ago аnd I know nothing about this guitar. . it is rather old, there is no pickguard, but as far as I know sound is warm, deep аnd so it's nice. . I thought that it was something like hand-made guitar. . because I didn't find any serial number or stamp ''made in USA''. . . BUT, several days ago I found the serial number on the bridge . . it is ''B238756''. . so men, I want you to tell me anything you can about this masterpiece:-D I want to know when it ''was born'' аnd the city of its birth. . аnd how can you value it? please help me. . thank you all. .

Pog, welcomes from the U.S.
The serial number seems unusually high to be pre- Ernie Ball, perhaps it was an early Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay bass. The problem is that no official records exist for instruments in that time period.
I am sure Gav/Rod Trussbroken will want to weigh in on this one, but in the meantime you can check out his unofficial (but very useful) website here to learn more: Home - Musicmanbass.org, Music Man, Musicman, Music Man Bass, Musicman Bass, Music Man Guitar
If you want to purchase a pickguard, we have black, white, and tortoise shell available. Please contact me at [email protected].

Dave, welcome to the Forum. Your bass was completed on January 13 1995. It has a Natural Ash Velvet (matte) finish with a rosewood fretboard. Originally shipped to Guitar Center Hollywood.

Marc - this beast was completed on 4/19/01 and shipped to Big Dude's right there in your town. It is a Black Sparkle StingRay 5 with a rosewood board and was shipped with a white pickguard. Buying it?

Yes - if it had a white pickguard it would have a white pickup cover.
