Music Man Serial Number Database

[Rod Trussbroken]

Hey all, new member & more importantly, new MusicMan owner. Well not new, but that's what I'm here to find out!

It's a 'Ray with serial # BO22998

Thanks, John.

Hi John.

I had a look at your Bass in the Pic Gallery. Very nice!

Unfortunately, there's no database for the Pre-EBs. The serial numbers can give an indication of age but many are out of chronological order. Usually there's other features which help identify vintage. Looking at the features of your Bass my guestimation is in the 1980-1981 range.

The neck heel and neck pocket on the body are usually dated but the neck has to be removed to view the stamps. If you decide to do that I'd be interested in what you find.

Jaco, congratulations on your new bass! It was completed on 03/13/08. we list it as having a Honeyburst finish, rosewood fretboard and tortoise shell pickguard.

Very cool! even though we have no records of these basses, it's still a cool thing to have them pop up here from a guy who's playing it for these many years. .
