Dan...how about 37125.

Appears to be the same as kasimka's Sterling-like Bass...no pg or pg holes, no neck plate markings and a headstock logo with just "Ernie Ball Music Man" (but doesn't name the Bass model). It was in the Music Myer (Europe) gallery.

Gav, that's pretty weird .. this bass was indeed shipped to Musik Meyer, but it is listed as just being an ordinary black/maple Sterling built on 3/02/93.

:confused: I have to admit, I just don't know .. I know it's hard to believe, folks, but it's true .. I don't quite know everything (yet!) :rolleyes:

Interesting to know how many same basses were made?

I have seen one here that is similar in color but has red flames on it .... there may be one more stashed away in the bunker somewhere, but that's aboout it As far as what's out there in the world, you may have the only one (other than the one Gav just posted about.

Dan! Thank you so much! I always have unusual things happening around me:) I think it's because I had 6 finger when I was born:) So I will have a unique unusual bass named by BP:) It's really grate:)

You and Pete Dubaldo should forces to form "the 22-finger duo". :D

Hey Dan,

I was recently smitten by a wonderful Sterling HS shown to me by my pals at Perkins Music.
I'm not typically an impulse buyer but this one blew my socks off so I had to make it mine..
I think it was pretty much out of the box when I got it in early May but see what you have for S/N F18133 in your files.

Thanks!

newt, your new bass was not there long - we shipped to them on 4/04/07. Sweet! It arrived at their store on 4/11/07.

Hey John, welcome!

This thread is actually for the guys who actually have already bought their basses, but since you didn't know, I will try to answer your question, even if your serial number has one too many digits in it ... if that 0 is absent, it becomes a Blue Pearl StingRay with a rosewood board originally shipped to Avenue Guitars in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. If that's not correct. please provide the correct serial number via PM.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan.

It becomes more and more exciting:) And what is the DOB of the bass Gav posted about? MAy be it's all about bridge shuffle, the same way as neckplate shuffle nowadays?

And about 6 fingers - I had it only on the right hand, but it was cut later because of infection:(

I thought the clearcoat still smelled a little sweet..
When I get my bass gig with Dolly Parton I'll order one with a Technicolor Clearcoat..
OOPS....my lease is up on my coffee...

That one was built on 3/02/93, 4 months prior. I doubt there is much relationship between the two.

Serial number E02427

Hi Guys, I bought this brand new! from a shop here in the Netherlands, but I've got reason to believe it's about 9 years old! The bass is in absolutely 100% perfect condition. You get to wonder what happened with it all these years. Not being played that's for sure!

Stingray 5 E02427 Honey Burst, white pickguard, maple 3eq.

Cheers
Mich D
