Hmm, mine is not white but more like a Seafood Green and definitely not the Mint Green. It doesn't appear to be a refinish of any kind as far as I can tell. The finish is flawless. It does have a mint green pick guard though. I bought it at Guitar Center on Rte 22 in New Jersey as a new model, or as I was told not a 2006 model. That were selling it and telling me it was the last new 2017 they had. The maple neck is correct as is the 3 band EQ. In any case, it plays beautifully. I couldn't be happier with it but it is odd that the color code comes up as white and is dated as a 2006 model. I'm a bit pissed that I was lied to about it, especially when I payed full retail price as if it were a new bass not a 12 year old bass.


Hi Joeglow,

please post a picture and check your serial number again.
The serial you given was already checked in 2007, white, 3band, maple, without a claim.
So its probably just a typo.

I'm a dumbass guys, my sincerest apologies. That was a serial number of a bass I was going to buy a recently, I forgot I posted it to check the validity of it as the seller wasn't sure it was a true EBMM or not. He thought it might be an import knockoff. He wound up removing his listing after I questioned it as it had a bridge that was not conducive to anything EBMM installed on their basses. I'm not on here very often so I totally forgot that I posted it as a query. Please accept my apology.

The green one I have is E98363.

I also recently purchased a 2017 Classic Stingray, B058326.

Thank you again for all of your hard work, it is truly appreciated.
