Hey SS, welcome and congratulations on your new bass! It was completed on Dec 20 2006 and was shipped to Australia.

The serial numbers don't always follow that the larger the number the later the model (obviously). Often you will see lower numbers thown in with the higher ones on similar build dates.

Cheers,

Dan

okay......not in my grubby little mitts yet..........but the serial is x00038


white,active SUB........rosewood.......black neck and black headstock.


and if any of you have some info on the finish........it's matte i think..........not smooth at all.


she should be here within 4 to 6 weeks...........unless i pay it off faster.



and where would this one have been sent to..........cuz i know where it's gonna end up

 

[5Stringer]

fly, that is one of the first SUB basses made, it was completed on 04/30/03 and was shipped to Tom Lee Music in Richmond, BC, Canada. The finish is called Textured White, yes it is a matte finish.

[muziker]

muziker, please check the color and/or serial number again ... Our database reports that serial number belonging to a Trans Gold StingRay 5 with a maple neck, matching headstock, and white pearloid pickguard that was built on 8/16/2000 and shipped to Royal Music Center in New York. Hmmmm......

Dan

thanks Dan! Youre absolutely right.

Here is one again:E18013 SR 4 natural/maple/black pickguard.

Thanks Tom

 

[kara]

kara, this is a black fretless and has a completion date of 11/30/94. Originally shipped to Bill's Music House in Baltimore, Maryland.

Dan

Hmmm.... The used bass I just picked up is a SR 5 with a maple neck has a red / orange sunburst (probably not the right description of color) and white pick guard, with frets.. Is the s# anywhere else besides the bridge?

Fly, Unfortunately we don't keep that close of track ... but yeah, somewhere between those numbers seems likely

Dan

Thanks Tom

Tom, yes, this serial number refers to a StingRay in Natura with a maple neck shipped originally to Sam Ash on 08/29/00.

Cheers,

Hmm.. I rechecked it and that is what it shows up as still .... yes, the serial number would be on the bridge, but are you possibly missing a letter before the 5 digits? Also, sometimes 6's can look like 8's, or 3's like 8's. and vice versa and so forth. You might study the number carefully with a flashlight ...

hahahha.......no problem.



if my serial is X00038.............can i assume that this would be the 38th bass made of that batch?


*just say yes man*

 

[sixironwork]

Howdy folks. I purchased my StingRay 5, Serial Number 51190, in 2001 on eBay, and never really knew the history. I'm guessing it is a 1989 or 1990. Can anyone give me a better history?

Peace
Jeromy
