It has to be an EB bridge because of the serial number.
If it has a contoured body (as opposed to slab...a Pre-EB feature) then it will be an EB body. If "Ernie Ball" appears on the headstock logo then obviously the neck is also EB.
Unscrew the control plate (the plate which holds the Vol, Bass and Treble controls). Look for signs of blue paint. While you're at it, check the date sticker on the rear of the Bass control pot.
A better way is to remove the neck and check for blue paint in the body cavity. A date will be recorded there and on the neck heel aswell. But don't do that unless you know what you're doing.
It's hard to tell from the pic. Unless the Bass is made from different Music Man parts, then it has to be a refin paint job.

Hi Rod,
thanks. Will get a gd friend of mine to do the dismantling as I'm a blooper when it comes to technical works ahahahahah. But the main thing is that I' happy to own this machine because the tone has attracted lots of attention from bass players in my country due ite rareness here. By far I've only seen a peice of the MM, that is the blueburst Sterling which has not been bought since it came to the shop a few years back as players here prefer the Stingray more. Long Live EB...

Thanks for quick reply. I bought it on ebay from that location(Guitar Center in Arlington). I just don't understand that it is year 1997 and it's absolutely untouched. Actually it was untouched until yesterday flight. It got a ding on the down side of body. Thanks British Airways

Hi Andrew,
Nah, haven't retired. Just trying to play catch up in my other, much less important job at Ernie Ball, which is looking after about half of the sales here...
This Sting Ray in Black Sparkle (woo hoo!) with a maple matching neck and black pickguard was born on 13 December 2000 in the factory in SLO and was originally sold to Guitar Center in Arlington Heights, IL. Enjoy!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
