rk, this blue was one of the first colors out on the StingRay 5 - but, like a few others, it was never given an official name. we did affectionately call it Smurf Blue. It's funny, we have one hanging here in the office and I look at it every day - the one we have here is a prototype without the bevels. Anyway yours was completed on 4/04/89.

"Smurfette"

Great! I'll remove the neck next time I change strings & report back
on the info in the neck pocket.
I jokingly nicknamed this bass "Smurfette" I had no idea that the good
folks @ EB refer to this color as "Smurf Blue" That's Good Stuff!!
Thanks again.

rk, you really don't need to remove the neck, we already know the date your bass was built - removing the neck might mess with the setup.

Understood.
I'm just trying to satisfy my curiosity on the info.
I'm almost certain that there's a name in there?
I had removed the neck when I bought her in 98ish & did not make a record of the info. But thank you for the advice & I will be careful.

Anyway, the strings are spankin' new & I won't be bothering for some time.

Hi!

I checked first post but I couldn't find what color exactly is on this bass.

Info: Music Man Sub Bass, from what I have found this bass is from 2004. S/N: X06405. That's all I know.




Please help me

Looking at your pics, the colour appears to be "Teal".
