The older "B" serials were used for both Pre-EB and Ernie Ball instruments but no records exist for either. I suspect your Bass is a Pre-EB. There should be three dot markers past the 12th fret and the string retainer should be on the D&G strings (Ernie Ball Basses have 4 dots and the retainer is on the A&D). If a Pre-EB then it should be c.1983. For more accuracy, dates are can be found on the neck heel and in the body pocket but the neck has to be removed to view them. A luthier can do this for a nominal fee. Hope that helps.

I last logged on in 2007 - So, I don't know if this is a reply or a new post or what??? Anyway, my curiosity was piqued when I went to the Serial number database to look for my Stingray 5 and there it was 50331. It's as described - Red (Very red / Hank Marvin red) a hue I've never seen on any other Stingray. It's got a white P/up and pickguard and a maple neck and Fretboard. It was bought from Carlsbro in Nottingham in 1989 or 90 (Can't remember) Anyway on the database it says 'Special' Does anyone know why? Is it because the neck is 'Birdseye maple'?

No, it is special because we didn't know what else to say about them. It was a limited run of red, similar to the other limited runs we did back in the early days. As far as the birdseye, as I have stated in other places, there was simply a lot more of it available back then, so we used it a lot on guitar and bass necks.

![]() ![]() I'll say for the record that you guys make amazing basses. I have 3 Musicmans (An EB Ray, an EB Sterling and a Pre-EB Ray). The Pre-EB has lots of mojo because of its heritage, but it's not "better". Ernie Ball has done an outstanding job with Musicman. |
