>>>>Is it missing the Trademark logo?

I take it you mean the "Ernie Ball" name???

No. It's a Pre- EB Bass. EB didn't aquire Music Man until 1984.

Told ya I wasn't a bass player. I just assumed it would be at the end after "StingRay Bass".

Thanks again.

Dave. I love this type of stuff. Thanks for introducing it. It's an interesting excerise.

I've just taken a closer look at my '89 Ray (today), because of this thread, and it doesn't have the original string retainer. I've been looking at the freaking thing for the last 2 years. I can't believe I missed it!

So , now I'm looking for an original string tree...darn!

I imagine BP will give me one while I'm over at SLO

>>>You ARE HUMAN after all

The string retainer is almost identical to a genuine one but the inside diameter (where the screw is placed) appears a little larger. So it's easy to miss. It may also be the head of the screw itself. I didn't have time today, but I'll take it off and have a closer look.
