Music Man Serial Number Database

[srenkin]

Information needed, please:

I have a serial number request, and also a question about battery location on USA MM Sterling basses. Here's why; I'm interested in purchasing a used Sterling 4-string bass, serial #F07555. The owner says its a 2012 model, but the placement of the battery compartment seems different than others I've seen. It seems that current Sterling basses (both USA and SB14 models) have a battery compartment in the lower horn of the body (in line with the control cavity). I had a MM Sterling in the 90's that had a chrome battery cover located NEXT to the control cavity cover (between the center of the bass and the cavity). Well, this used bass has a battery compartment NEXT to the cavity cover just like my 90's bass. So I'm wondering if it's really a 2012? Perhaps you can shed some light on that for me - thanks!

Our serial numbers are pretty random, they really don't mean anything. We store the information regarding build date in our database and are able to pull up a particular bass's information based on the serial number. Without the database you aren't able to determine much about the instrument.

A.J.,

I am also wanting to confirm the build date and any additional info on my bongo. It is a Neptune Bongo 14' Limited Addition model. SN F44244. I believe it came originally to Bass Central. (Premier Dealer) My other question, if it can be confirmed is whether this was the final 4 string bongo in this configuration that came out of the factory. Didn't buy it for that story, but would be fun to know if it was... Thanks for any help.

Ian

That bass was completed on December 1st, 2014. Although I can't confirm for sure that it was the last Bongo in Neptune to leave the factory, it was definitely one of the last (based on the production date).

I own an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray serial# B023347, bought used in 1990. The body is stamped Dec 10 1985, neck Jan 09 1986. It has a 3B EQ. I’ve read where the 3B EQ didn’t come out until 1987. Could this be some kind of prototype?

Hmmm.. that serial number doesn't bring up anything in our database but that is understandable as it is a pretty early EB model. Can you email me some pictures of the bass and electronics? [email protected]
