Hi!
I recently purchased a used EB MM Stingray 5 HH (Cabarnet Pearl/Black P/Guard & Maple fretboard) - Serial Number: E58866.
This would suggest the bass was manufactured sometime in March/April - 2007. I would however like to know the specific DOB and country it was first shipped to. Thank You :)

DOB:12/16/97 , Trans teal was a normal production color that has been discontinued and not considered rare.

What's it's DOB? How do you figure out the DOB and how many were made? I'm guessing it's a limited edition?

Our serial numbers are random, there is no code system and unfortunately we do not provide production numbers.
DOB: 10/20/10 , this bass was part of a Guitar Center exclusive run, not a limited edition.

Thank you for the quick reply. I wasn't sure if it was Cabarnet Pearl or Candy Red but now the mystery is solved. Thanks!

Thank you. I can't find any others like mine and they told me there were only about 300 or so made. Didn't know if it might have been more valuable. An exclusive run would mean they're somewhat limited and specialized for Guitar center? i'm assuming "Exclusive" means it's only sold at Guitar Center but they're still in production without limit?

Thanks,
Phil

Keep forgetting to do this, so just to get it on here.

Stingray 4 H, E65744, Tobacco or Vintage burst (?)

(does not deviate one iota from a bog standard MM Stingray, no roastings or mutants, no extra strings, normal rosewood fretboard, one piece body, the Snap-On of basses ;) )

Records don't exist for Pre-EB instruments but Cutlass necks were made from 1983 to early 1984. A lot of the bodies used were made much earlier. The month and year are usually marked on the neck heel, but not always. The neck would have to be removed to view the exact date.

Thank for the info¡¡¡¡

Yes, GC only. Exclusive instruments are done in small runs and do not continue to be produced after that run
