The Flea bridge (but still with mutes), the 6-bolt plate, the matt finish... all point straight to 1992-93. But do not get me wrong, this is a cracking specimen, from what many (included myself) consider a golden era for 'Rays (late '80s - early '90s), in a sought after colour, with great birdseye and professional mods.

All the best with the sale, somebody should be very happy. :)

You're welcome. I've had nine Stingrays, from '70s pre-EB to current ones, and one Sterling, so I have learnt a few things about them.

For those who prefer not to remove the neck in order to check the stamp date, often on the preamp/pots in the electronics cavity there is a dated sticker. Here there have been a few mods so the sticker may have disappeared, but it's still worth having a look. I would not rely too much on pots codes/dates, they were often ordered in massive bulks and left laying around for years before being utilised...

And for those who don't want to remove control plate, there is [url="http://www.musicmanbass.org/"]this[/url] superb Musicman fans page with huge list of serial numbers and corresponding dates of manufacture, you can surely find approximate date of birth of your bass.
