Hi Gavin ~ here's the serial # to my Stingray: E32722

If I read your site's chart correctly, that would put the build date between July and August of 2002.

Am I correct?

Thanks,

James

Hi James.

Yeah, either July or August. Beth or Derek will be able to give the exact date.

Hi everybody!

This is my first time posting. I really like reading all the posts, it's cool that there is so many people into Music Mans.

I have a beautifull natural SR4, 2 tone. I would like to know when it was born.

Serial # 30022. I've had the bass for a long time. I tried 3 times to register it on the ernie ball site but no luck. Must be a canadian thing.

As soon as I can get a picture set up Ill post it. It really looks like all the other natural basses out there except for the birdseye maple detail in the neck.

I love my bass. She will be with me forever.

Right now Im in the market for a nice sterling from 93 or so, when they had the string mutes. I find my string mutes give me a little fretless sound. Is it true that ernie ball changed the pickup after those years to a more punchy set up? Ive heard of guys changing them out to the after market stuff, to update the bass.

Well take care and I look forward to reading the forum some more.

Hi Aziah! Beth already confirmed that for me ~ you both rock!

Now I've got to send Jack $0.05 for the use of that term.

:D :D

Latest addition:

pre-EB Sabre

C004203..Neck 4 Oct 1979. Body 17 Sep 1979. Body has been stripped, with Maple. Black pg.

The body wood suggests this did NOT have a trans finish - so does that mean it was black? Inside the neck pocket and control cavity it looks to be white, but I don't think that was an available finish. I'll take a closer look in all the nooks and crannies for trace color.
