just got this Sterling, I'm wondering what color it is. It appears to be a really really really dark blue, but it says P Blue (Pearl Blue?) in the neck pocket. Here is the number: 40156

eric,

This Sterling is Pearl Blue (we later switched it around to call it Blue Pearl ) and it was made on 3/22/94. The finish we used in those days was darker than it is now. The Sterling, like most of our instruments, was only available in a handful of finishes in those days. Since this was our only blue color we offered on the Sterling, the idea was to make the color pretty middle-of-the-road in terms of darkness/lightness.

Later, when we introduced darker blue colors like Midnight Blue Sparkle and Carbon Blue Pearl, the decision was made to lighten Blue Pearl, (as it was now called) up a bit.

Cool stuff!

Hi, I have just aquired a most gorgeous 'ray serial number 33883 can you tell me how it left the factory ?. It has the most fantastic birdsye neck, and what I believe is "bluebust" colour. Pictures are on the pic gallery page. Can you give me any history ?. Thanks Ade

Thanks eric. Will do

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Thanks eric. Will do

As an after thought, I thought B027445 was your Red 1988.

If not, do you have the serial and date of the Red.

I have one pic of the White 1988. Do you have any more?

Ade,

Sure. This bass was completed on 9/9/91 and shipped to our UK Distributor. The color is in fact Blueburst, which we used to offer on the StingRay/StingRay 5 until 1994 (We still offer it on the Steve Morse guitar, now called Morse Blueburst). The reason it was dropped for the basses? Difficult and time-consuming to shoot, and by 1994 our backorders were getting to be out of control, so this was a time-saving measure.

The body wood is poplar, the neck solid maple. There were less than 600 StingRays made in the Blueburst finish.

Rockin' bass!

Greetings from Hungary,
I have got a Sting Ray 5 3EQ with Piezzo Transculent Orange Bass with E20295 serial number.
I would like to know what year it was made.

Thanks your help,
David

 

[5Stringer]

David,

Your Absolutely Gorgeous bass was built on 1/12/01. (I say this because my main bass is also a trans orange rosewood with piezo!)

Sweet!

Thanks for the info Dan, The Stingray certainly has caused a bit of a stir on the forums, Im in love with it already, It was in a bit of a mess when I picked it up, but it has cleaned up nicely. Next step a full setup and service at my local EB dealer in Swindon UK.

Very nice!

Can you give me more info about my bass please. I got a black HH Stingray I bought a few months ago from Guitar Center here in Houston. Serial # is E 49778. Its an amazing bass. I love it! Just want to know its DOB and other info.

 

[5Stringer]

D,

Your bass was completed on 11/16/05. It is a Sapphire Black finish with Rosewood fretbord and a Moonstone pickguard. This was among the first ones in the HH configuration that was shipped out.

Used Stingray 5 stringer

New to this forum and I just picked up my first Stingray. I got it used at a guitar Center, and was wondering what the date of birth might be??

I asssume sometime in 2006 because of the like-new condition...

The serial number is E51833 -- it has a nice black cherry burst finish, a black pickguard and a maple fretboard, and I am enjoying it VERY much.

 

[5Stringer]

Please give me the DOB of Sting Ray #40053.

Thanks in advance.
David

David,

That serial number pertains to a StingRay in Trans Teal with a rosewood fretboard completed on 3/1/94 and sent to Steve's Music in Montreal. Woof!
