<div class="bbWrapper">Excellent photos! That is a really cool color. Was that a standard color or an artist one-off?<br /> <br /> Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Peach. It was one of the &#039;special&#039;, non-standard colours at the time. As far as I know it was offered in 1988/89. I love it - my favourite EBMM colour!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Have not posted here in a very long time but I do check in from time to time...<br /> <br /> I do not need another bass but if one was offered in this color (in a SR4 unlined fretless) it would be a very hard thing to not pick one up!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Does anyone know why Tony has a gigantic thing on his headstock?</div>

 

[xjbebop]

<div class="bbWrapper">Don&#039;t know, but I&#039;ll guess either a video camera and/or a &#039;funk fingers&#039; holder... ????</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Fabulous pictures - if a Musicman in peach does crop up used, there&#039;ll be half a dozen of us bidding.<br /> <br /> Limited run Stingray Classic and SR5 in this colour please!! I&#039;d be very very tempted to buy if they were offered. <br /> <br /> Peach was a short lived custom colour at extra charge - the others available were vintage sunburst and trans White - peach seems to have been replaced (possibly) with butterscotch, which is also very rare (all this per the EBMM documents which the seller sent with my 93 fretless - which includes a review of a Stingray quoted from Roger Sadowski!). The colour selection seems to have widened in the mid/late 90s and the custom colours ceased.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">In several publications I’d read about Tony Levins peach-coloured Musicman Stingray 5 he used in Concerts with Peter Gabriel. I think there are not so many SR5 available in this rare colour. May be, I own one of them.

<div class="bbWrapper">That looks like peach - you should be able to check the details in the serial number checker on the main EBMM site or by following the link to it in the sticky thread at the top of the first page of the bass forum.<br /> <br /> 50175 is a very early SR5 and as you say they’re very rare in this colour, though one person I know of has two.....<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Do you want to sell yours?!! I’d certainly be interested. <br /> <br /> A copy of Tony Levin’s bass would be a very cool artist series bass for us to buy IMHO.</div>
