My StingRay 5 is gone.

[Rod Trussbroken]

I went through my archives. I have pics of your Bass. I've tried all my tricks to reveal the serial. Alas...no go.

Perhaps a timely reminder for everyone to record their serials and include them in their profile.

I did call the police, and am going to keep an eye out locally. I dont have the serial though, so I dont know what Im going to do if it turns up.

very sorry sir.....
someone stole my main morse guitar once......i know the sick feeling that never leaves your whole nervous system.......

i would suggest you take somes hopefully existing photos to every repair shop and dealer in your local area (50 miles or so) w/your specifics on it...like a missing pet poster...........i know it's a long shot.......but it actually worked for me.........18 months later my guitar surfaced & was recognized at a repair shop.....& i got it back !!!!! because your bass is fairly unique as far as typical basses go......it's worth a try....

And BP...I'm darn sure I've seen (or heard of) a Seafoam green like that. Unfortunately, one tends to dismiss them as an owners' modification and pay no further attention.

I'll do some digging.

If I didn't know you, I would say that was an oxymoron.

BP, Dargin, or John, can't one of you go through system and possibly check your records? See how many Blue Dawn/Maple/Matching Headstock/Black Pearloid Ray 5's you made, them check to see they were sold, and give a likely list of serials? Travis, do you know if Will bought the bass brand new? So it'd be a store in the New England area, wouldn't it?

Sorry to hear that. Nothing is worse than some thief stealing your stuff.

Hope you get it back. That is a beautiful bass and the color is not very popular outside EBMM, so, it is unique and the possibilities of finding it are very good.

Patrick,

I think Will was the second owner, but Im gonna send him an e-mail about the info.

This is sucking more and more by the day.

 

[crazybass888]

TRAVIS!!! That sucks SO HARD!!! I've got friends that work at the Guitar Centers up here, I'll have keep an eye out to see if anything walks in... lemme know if there is anything else I can do to help!!!

 

[xcental34x]

Still Travis, I doubt many Blue Dawn/Maple/Matching Headstocks left the factory with a Black Pearloid Pickguard.

 

[TSanders]

Thanks Brad. I saw an used identical SR5 at the North Druid Hills GC and wish I had the cash to snag it. Im gonna cry when I see on my next GC visit if its still there.

 

[crazybass888]

I know, that sucks. I just called my friend at GC and sent out an e-mail company wide, so if a Blue Dawn SR5 walks in for sale they'll catch it!

 

[TSanders]

Good point Patrick.

And for certain, seeing this didnt help.

 

[HeavyDuty]

Did'ja put it up in the Stolen forum at TB?

 

[TSanders]

Not yet, Im having computer troubles and cant get in my photobucket account and thats the only place I have pics. Im trying to get a friend over to fix my computer. As soon as its fixed Im gonna post at TB.

 

[clanner]

is your name the same at talk bass as it ias here?

 

[Squozen]

That really sucks, but on the positive side at least it's a rare colour. Imagine if it was just your bog-standard black/white/sunburst...

Hope you get it back and tear the thief a new one.

 

[Dees]

If you keep having problems with hosting your pics, I can always upload them to my web account, it's fast and a few extra pictures won't limit my web space

 

[TSanders]

Thanks Dees, but the bas thing is I usually delete the pics from my cameras disc after I put the in my photobucket account. I have some downtime today so Im gonna go through my discs and see if I can find some pics.

Hey Travis, this is a shot in the dark.........

If you get in touch with the original owner, see if they still have the receipt for the purchase of the guitar. Most stores print the serial number on the receipt.
