I'll let you in on a little secret. If you are on Facebook and go join the page called; pre Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray Bass fans. There is a man there named James, he bought all of Leo's (CLF) shop and paint shop records from 76-79. Those docs show how the bass left the workshop and if it was ever sent back under warranty. He can look up your serial.
His docs do not say where the basses went. Since CLF and Musicman were kept as separate companies, James only has the workshop records til about mid 79.
I am one of the administrators of that fb page. I know very well James from the ernieball forum and it was me that invited him to the pre ernieball page. James has record until end 1978 only. Nothing for 1979 and nothing for sabres...

Maybe they were sanded a little. Which is the date on the pocket? I cannot read It from the pic. On 1981-1982 the factory were stingrays were produced changed from CLF to Jackson. Jackson used to make the pocket completely clear from any trace of finish. MM during this switch from one supplier to the other made some basses by themselves. Maybe it' s one of those....

It's a respray to me. If It was a factory refinish they would have used the hanging tool the used at that time. That tool leaves characteristic dots on the neck pocket, as shown on the pic I posted

When basses with detective finishes were sent back to the factory for fixing the problem they normally put on the first available body with good correct finish. The detective finish bodies were at this point refinished for being assembled with another neck. The refinish was not necessairnly made with the same color and at MM they did not take the original finish off. So it is likely that you can find a sunburst over white . I have personally saw silver over black and black over silver stingrays.
Despite the possibility to be honest yours seems not a factory refinish. Too much red in my opinion. Anyway a good way to check is examine the neck pocket. If you can post a pic I can be more precise

I see same era/colour basses for sale on another site, is my pricing wrong?

That prices on the links are relatively high especially with respect to the conditions of the basses. In italy a good condition 1978 stingray all original is sold for 2200-2400 euros. Modifications on vintage basses can affect seriously the value.

As a pre eb it should haven't had the dot on the 19th fret. Nice bass anyway.

I never ordered a bass but to get some spare parts (strap pins, string tree) it took about 1 year...

Nice bass. Are the pickup and preamp original? Do you have the original neck plate? Some other non original components?
Finish is original?
Thanks -
Bought an elite II precision from koval. Nice person, straightforward comunication and super care in packing the bass.
Hope to make deals again. -
