Hello
Could I get some info about my Musicman Silhouette serial number: 89133
Thanks

This Silhouette was completed on July 14th, 1989. The color is coming up as "Special" which just means it was outside of our standard offerings at that time. It has the Maple neck.

Hi, I need the model and year of my bass
E89913

This StingRay 3EQ was completed on March 21st, 2013. The color is Tangerine Pearl with the Maple neck.

This one is coming up as an EVH from the 90s in the database. It was most likely made in '87. In 1986 and 1987 before the serial number database existed, the Silhouette serial numbers were ink stamped onto the back of the headstocks and the first 2 digits were the year. Many of those same serials were later used on neck plates in the 90s on different models which were recorded into the database.

Thanks, I was told this is probably '87 but I wasn't sure because the serial number is on the back of the headstock as you mentioned. All the Music Man guitars I've seen haven't this signature on the back of the head, so I thought mine is fake. Another thing is lack of writing: "Made in San Luis Obispo, California" on the headstock. Is this normal for the guitar from 1987?

Yes the "Made in San Luis Obispo, California" began to be introduced to the back of the headstocks in December of 1987 so most of the instruments made in 1987 did not have this.

Hi,
still living and doing well. A Ray E17606, might call it translucent orange. No compensated nut.

This StingRay 2EQ was completed on August 16th, 2000. The color is Trans Orange with the Rosewood fretboard.

Hi Skaine, Ask away! Up until the release of the Stingray Special in July of 2018, all Stingray 4-string basses came stock with alnico pickups.
