SICbass Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Hello All, I'm selling a Musicman Stingray 5 fretless and a potential buyer wants to know if the fingerboard is made of pau ferro. Any idea how I can find this out? The serial number is 52417. Thanks for any help, Paul [attachment=191878:SDC14916.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm pretty sure you're right, however, you could try the Ernie Ball, MM website, I think they have a resource for this sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICbass Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thanks EZ, tried them but it was inconclusive. The buyer has changed his mind now anyway 😢 Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) It's usually Pau Ferro. The SR5 page on the MM website says this: Fretted - maple or rosewood; Fretless - Pau Ferro with or without inlaid fretlines; Stealth - Ebony Fretted or Fretless Edited May 12, 2015 by ikay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlungerModerno Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 If it's rosewood - it's an extremely light piece. For pau ferro that's pretty normal - All in all a very nice fretless fingerboard. GLWTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
