My new sterling is F12725 & is a transparent red, rosewood board & black pearloid p/g. My guess is it's a 2005.....I'll update the thread when I find out.

I have a metallic blue sterling bass with a serial number 38356. Can I get some info on DOB and type of wood. thank you kindly

[Rod Trussbroken]

Around that time it was either Poplar, Alder or Ash.

It's a 1993 Bass. Probably August (but could be September).

More detail can be obtained by emailing EB Customer Service. Sometimes Derek and Beth pop in though

Hi BD,

Your Sterling in Pearl Blue with a maple neck was born on 29 July, 1993 in the San Luis Obispo, California factory and was originally sold to Music Box in Hamden, CT. The wood is probably ash. Looks like your Sterling will be enjoying a birthday soon!

Best regards,
Beth

Sterling bass is 7/29/93 Sorry Gav! The Sterling from the era would of been more than likely ash. Poplar and Alder were available and used sparingly.

Stingray Pacific Blue Burst is 11/17/04

*laughing*

Perhaps I will stick with years only

[higher1]

(I would love a born on date for these)

both sr5's

Honeyburst/ white gaurd '89 (I believe) : 52714
Trans Blue/ FL / white gaurd '88 (I believe) : 50606

the trans blue was originally a fretless. I have since put a moses neck on her. I still have the original neck (no flogging please)!

[higher1]

I just looked at the neck off the trans blue beasty and it has 2 dates .

the first is ink stamped, the second in blue ink pen;

1:jun 1 1988
2:6|13|1988

there is also a small "s" tapped into the wood as well as a capital "K" .
