ReB, very nice! Your new bass was completed on 12/30/08 and was shipped to the U.K.

Dan

Interesting. So the date on the box is the DOB!

Thanks a lot Dan!

Thanks a lot Dan!

Which very often is the case - if not within a day or two ~

Well ... here's what I've got to say about that ... this Black StingRay 4 with a rosewood board and a matching headstock was completed on 6/07/05 and was shipped to Bass Central.

Dan

That's correct Thank you.

SN 015659 (on Bridge)

#46/100 100th Anniversary NAMM Stingray.

 

[5Stringer]

Baird, let me add a "B" for you in front of that number -

This was built, like all of them, on 2/1/01 or within a day or two of that - this one was shipped to Steve's Music in Montreal. Nice!

I have a black StingRay 4 with maple neck. Serial is E40736.

I did not buy it from new so I was curious as to its DoB or any other info on it. and the scratch plate on it was a mirror one, which I'm assuming was not the original.

Thanks
Will

Hi Dan

Could you give me some info please on a StingRay 4 I've just bought second-hand?

The serial number is 29361.

Colour, pickguard, fretboard, build date and where it was shipped to would be great!

Thanks!

hak, your StingRay bass was completed on 4/11/96 - it looks older than that, has a cool vintage look. Nice pics!

Dan

Thanks very much 5Stringer and have a good day.

Will, welcome to the Forum! Your bass has a build date of May 20 2004 -- it was originally shipped to Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center in Wheaton, Maryland. It originally had a black scratchplate.

liverbird, nice acquisition! This 2-EQ StingRay features the original Blueburst finish (a la Morse). It has a poplar body, solid maple neck, shipped to our U.K. distributor, Strings & Things Ltd.

André, 11/25/03 was the big day ... but our records show that as a textured Graphite (like a charcoal gray color) .. how black is your black?

It was shipped to Musik Meyer, our German distributor.

Hi Dan

Thanks for the info. I have a bit of a mystery here though...

The bass is indeed a Blueburst that I bought second-hand here in the UK.

But the fretboard is Rosewood, not Maple.

There's some blue paint rubbed off on the heel the neck so it would appear that it's been on that body for at least some time. The stamped date in the neck pocket is Sep 26 1989. The heel has a stamped date of Oct 16 1989 and there's also a handwritten mark saying RD.10.25.89.

What do you think - maybe a neck that was swapped out at the time? Or possibly a reboarding? Or a database mix-up?

Do you have a completion date? Any info on the pickguard?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Oliver

 

[5Stringer]

Sorry, Oliver - forgot the most important part! It was built on November 3 1989. Switching necks was semi-common in those early days for distributors to do because it took so long for orders to be built. The pickguard would have originally been white.
