Hi there

A couple days ago I got a lefthanded Stingray 5. As far as I know I'm the third owner of it. Number on it's neckplate says L05105. Been told it's a 2008 model (therefore it features an Alnico pick up?). Apparently it was purchased new in Canada by a spanish guy, then swapped to the guy I got it from, also by swapping XD. Not that easy for us lefties, especially in Spain. Please, I'd like to know the DOB and all you can tell me about it, whether it was actually purchased new in Canada, alnico pick up?, colour (chili red? it's a trans finish), is it possible it's a one piece ash body? if it isn't it's unbelievably well made... you know, all you can tell me. Also I'd like it registered under my name please, it's currently registered under the name of former owner. By the way I'm very happy with the instrument, after some minor adjustments it plays amazing and has "that" music man sound we all love and cherish :) . Thanks in advance.

Greetings to everyone from Spain, cheers!

Hi There. I have white sparkly 4-string Stingray number: E30787.

Thanks,

Hi folks. I bought a MM Stingray yesterday, and having trouble figuring out the DOB. I've looked at the data base, but not sure I understand how to use it correctly. This bass was advertised as a 1981 model, but I am fairly certain that is not correct.I base that assumption on the bridge, which appears to be different than what I am seeing on early 80's models. I got a great deal regardless of when it was made, but would like to know. Serial number E32885

This StingRay 3EQ was completed on August 16th, 2002. The color is Black with the Maple neck. It was originally shipped to Metro Music.
