Greetz, We have no info info on your pre-EB Sabre, perhaps Gav would like to weigh in on that one ..

Serial # 26935 was completed on 03/03/89 and shipped to the Netherlands.
Serial # 32017 was finished on 6/7/91 and was originally shipped to Bill's Music House in Baltimore, Maryland.

cool collection ... :cool:

Hey Evil.

Very nice Basses. I saw them in the Pic Gallery thread. I've seen 26935 before.

Do you have any detailed pics of the pre-amps in your Sabres? If so, I'd like to see them:

MY EMAIL

As to the Pre-EB Sabre, there appears to be no chronology in the serials what so ever. To date it you'll have to remove the neck to view the dates on the neck heel and in the body pocket.

Hi everyone! I've just got my MusicMan Sterling with s\n F10988. Can anyone tell me the year of manufacture and the exact colour? It must be Desert Gold or Medallion Gold i think...
P.S. I'm from Ukraine, Kiev, so sorry for my english...:rolleyes:

Randy, congratulations and welcome to the Forum! Your new-to-you Sterling was completed on 10/22/04 and is in fact a Medallion Gold .... the first year that we offered that finish. Nice!

And, don't worry .... your English is just fine.

Hello,

could you give me some info on my new Bongo? :) s/n is F10086

finish is I'd guess Teal Pearl, but the store guys didn't know excactly ;)

thanks!

lebowsky, you are correct, the finish is indeed Teal Pearl, and this Bongo left the factory on 7/2/04. It was originally shiiped to Switzerland, and apparently is still there! Congratulations on your new (at least to you) Bongo! Bet it is nice with the HS pickups and piezo - great combination.

Dan,

Just bought a used Stingray 5 with serial number E29192. Can you tell me when it was made? The color looks like it might be a honey burst (see my avatar).

Thanks,

Larry K.
