[tonemachine1]

Hello:

New Stingray 5 H: E91859. Date of Birth, body wood (I guess ash as I can see it)?

Also, the envelop in the case was missing the schematic sheet that the other two new MM's had. Can you confirm the pick-up. I assume that its alnico so with the switch to the rear, in parallel; switch in middle 1 single coil with 2 filter; switch toward the neck 1 and 2 in series. Thanks.

Hi! I spotted an unusual Ray at Guitar Center. It has all the hallmarks of a Classic Ray, except it has a standard oil and wax maple neck. Was this one of the early models produced for GC? Does the neck have the vintage radius? Serial #B050111.

Very nice bass! Unfortunately we do not have information pertaining to production dates of instruments made prior to Ernie Ball acquiring Music Man. You could check for a date sticker on the pots in the control cavity but your best bet is to remove the neck and look for a date stamp on the heel of the neck and/or the neck pocket of the body.

 

[Mitch1980]

Mitch from the UK visiting Boston MA here! please date this bass thank you

Hi please could you date this bass which I've seen for sale . Would like to know as much spec as possible . Says 'music man bass' on the head stock and not just 'musicman' has 4 knobs , black with maple neck and fingerboard
