Stingray experts: why does this one not have logo on back?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I was looking at this... but i'm concerned: why is there no 'Made in San Luis, Obispo' on the back?

Everything else looks legit... :huh:

Because it's a Japanese EX series, you can tell by the logo, where the n meets the g

Ha! I was on that site looking for answer but never found it.

Well spotted.

Anyone played one of these? Seems a gamble in terms of the price... suddenly 650 GBP seems too high.

Easier when you know what you're looking for :)

I haven't played one in years, I remember being quite a snob when I did play it though so I wouldn't trust my then opinion.

Strangely, this one doesn't have mutes on the bridge though like the other EX's.

My only concern would be that you may loose value on that one compared with a USA. While it might be a bit more expensive at least you know if you go for a 2nd hand USA it's going to be easy to move on in the future if you decide to part with it.

Not exactly Japanese built. EBMM shipped the bulk parts to Japan for the distributor to assemble a bass model when need for their market...however I think the bodies were painted in Japan. I believe EBMM says they stopped the EX line around 2004?
