Hi guys, I just bought a Stingray with serial no E21344. Can you tell me anything about it? Born around 2000, according to seller.

Thanks!

Fabrice, sorry, had a longer-than expected weekend, still trying to catch up. Your bass was completed on 12/28/99 . Our records show it as a Sunburst (now called Honeyburst) maple. Cherryburst was not introduced as a Music Man finish until 2002.

Can you tell me anything about that instrument, and about some of the date confusion?

Thanks.

Sheveska, Gav was 100% on the ball as always regarding the approximate date - the only problem is - it is showing up as having a Black finish and a maple board. Are you certain of the serial number? Is the number on the bridge or is it on the neckplate?

The wood should be ash as is standard with all rays (i think)

I am sure you meant this the other way around ... the current SR5s and all SR4s have alnicos ....

Hey all, I am back from a long weekend ... Mike, it appears your bass has ceramic pickups as we started shipping them with Alnicos on March 8, 2008. Yours was completed on March 12 2007. We show the bass as a White maple, or as we like to say, an albino ...

Thanks a lot for checking I'm gonna see if it sounds and/or feels any different from my 3-band StingRay, and keep the one I like best...

Hi,

Recently picked up a beautiful fretless stingray (1991) I'm lead to believe, would love some clarification on her real date of birth, her serial number is 32855. Immaculate condition for a 17yr old bass!

Thanks

Drew, this lovely bass was shipped to our Austrian distributor after being completed on June 14, 1991. Our records show it as having a Sunburst finish and a maple board.
