lepromo Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 [quote name='BassBalls' post='261711' date='Aug 13 2008, 04:48 PM']My lovely musicman stinigray. Not sure how old it is though. [attachment=12040:DSCF0034.JPG] [attachment=12045:DSCF0031.JPG][/quote] Quote
lepromo Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Looks like a late 1990 or 1991. Certainly a pre - '94 model. (String mutes, varnished neck / board). The giveaway is the truss rod. They started using the "wheel" adjuster for the truss rod in late 1990. Previous to that it was a bullet truss rod at the head with a "skunk stripe" down the back of the neck. Around '94 they stopped varnishing the neck/board and started using thier "Gunstock oil and hand-rubbed special wax blend". (They also stopped using string mutes about this time). Lots of info on [url="http://musicmanbass.org/"]http://musicmanbass.org/[/url] However, if you really want to pin it down phone the UK distributors, Strings'n'Things. They are a really nice, helpful bunch of guys. By the way, you wouldn't be interested in selling would you? Quote

harvey1-8 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Here's my Stingray. Picked it up in Andertons a few years ago second hand. I sold it earlier in the year on the forum but bought it back when the chance came up. Quote

(Guessing early to mid-90's?). Looks like you weren't parted for too long from it. Quote

harvey1-8 Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 It's a '91. I sold it in mid April and bought it back in mid June, regretted selling it. I'm sure the old for sale thread is till on the forum somewhere. Quote
HaugeDK Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Here's my '94 Stingray. I was actually in the market for a Stingray5 but this was a local pickup and I got it at a good price. Quote
