Hello, own a '90 stinray5 black PG on black with rosewood fretborad (non matched headstock). The serial is 51835 and is on the bridge rather than like the more current 2000+ models on the neckplate. Battery cover is also different, requires a scredriver for access, where the new ones you just pop the latch. Couldn't resist the forum, wound up registering. Stingray is the first bass that got me into bolt-ons earlier this year, which also led me to try out a fender, never cared for these instruments before until i tried one. Would you believe 11 years of owning and playing all sorts of basses and purposely avoiding these gems? I mean i had a Ric4003, DeanEdge1, Ibanez Ergodyne edc705, ibanezbtb405qm, warwick vampyre sn 5, warwick corvette std 5, and recently. Stumbled upon a stingray by accident too, funny story, i put my warwick corvette on ebay and wound up trading it for a '90 stingray5, i looked it up and i was like wow, this guy wants a boring std corvette warwick that doesn't even match up in price for his near vintage stingray? So we traded, I had no intention on owning it, just got it to resell, but i just can't avoid having an instrument in my hands and not trying it, ok here's the funny part, I couldn't stop playing it, it sounded sooooo good, especially with the grind and overdrive effects on my line 6, yeah i'm not giving up this bass ever, not too bad for a 19 year old instrument too, a few nicks, mainly on the back where you'd wear a belt, but other than that, just some minor chips from careless placement when outside of the case, and a ofcourse the few of those headstock swings agains a wall , but nothing majorly noticeable, since then i purchased a fender jaguar bass and a fender p-bass (MIM) which i gave as a gift to my student both of which sound sweet as well, tried numerous other fenders and a few other stingrays, can't seem to find many of musicman basses around stores. This bass will definitely be the one instrument I'll hold on to, as much as i can't stand having scratches or nicks on my stuff. Well I'll be posting soon again on the pictures forum when i get a hold of a decent camera...until then...C ya!

my 'new' stingray

can you help me with s/n: E33570 ?
thanks a lot!

 

[5Stringer]

Thanks, Dan. Do you have anything on the finish, guard, neck?

Yes - the finish is Trans Red, the neck solid maple, black pickguard. The body should be made of alder - possibly ash.

eno, sorry, have been super busy and running behind on my duties here. Your StingRay in Candy Red with a maple neck and white pg was completed on 10/10/07 and was shipped to South Shore Music in Weymouth, Mass. Congratulations on a beauty!

Dan

 

[5Stringer]

Yeah my natural fretless stingray was the same - 3 piece but I could have sworn it was a 1 piece when I first got it. It really was incredibly matched.

Oh and I got another serial number here...F12175

Duarte, this Egyptian Smoke Bongo 4 HS was completed on 1/07/05 and was shipped to Shomaker Guitars in Burlington, NC. It shipped with a black ice pickguard.

I've just bought an Ernie Ball Stingray 5 in transluscent honeyburst - truly the most beautiful bass I have ever seen.The serial number is E13867. Any idea of its DOB, materials used and where it was initially shipped to.

Many, many thanks,

Davidn4925

David, congratulations on acquiring a beautiful instrument! Your bass was completed on April 3 2000, and was shipped to our UK distributor, Strings & Things Ltd. They may have record of where it went from there. Our records describe your bass as a SR5 in Sunburst (now referred to as Honeybust, same finish) The body is made of Southern ash, the neck maple. It shipped with a white pickguard.

Dan

can you tell where my bass was bought and when? Music Man Stingray E33570

 

[Bongodude]

I am thinking around 25 but not positive.

Do you have any idea where I can find the exact number of sparkle bongo's made? I've contacted Voerman but they didn't know.

Oh and while I'm on it, any idea how many limited edition 2006 (the black/gold ones) were made?

 

[martylad]
