Hi, new here!

I have a Stingray 5 with s/n E39333, looks like it is made sometime 2004?

It is some kind of translucent green, black pearloid pickguard and maple fretboard.

Hi - could you date these Basses for me?

1. Sterling serial# F13234

2. Sterling serial# F14033

3. Any help you can provide on history of pre-EB Stingray serial# B008664? I picked it up second hand about 15 years ago. I was told it was a '78. It has a a clear natural finish, probably a pro refin in my opinion, and a maple neck and black pickguard. It is string-through-body and has mutes on the bridge, and chrome battery cover.

Thanks in advance. Merry Xmas and Happy New year!

One of our moderators on this forum, RodTrussbroken, maintains a website that is a very good reference for Pre-EB instruments:
SERIALS Pre-EB - Musicmanbass.org, Music Man, Musicman, Music Man Bass, Musicman Bass, Music Man Guitar

I hope that helps!

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Unfortunately, official records for Pre-EB instruments don't exist. However your serial appears consistent with 1978. Dates are usually located on the neck heel and in the neck pocket on the body but the neck has to be removed to view them. If you wish to do so but have not done this before then I suggest you take your instrument to a luthier who can do it for you at a nominal fee.

Hi,Aziah!
Thank you for answering.

>2.
When I bought this, pickups have already been exchanged by other pickups(AERO MM-4), and it doesn't have the original. :(

Hi there, I've just bought a S/H Stingray 5, the serial no. is E14271, it would be great to know the date it was "born" and also wondering what they named the lovely purple colour, as they don't seem to show it on the current website, is it no longer available?

Thanks in advance,
captainsmee
