Is this Stingray fake??

Looks real enough...

 

Seems fine to me. Why not call them and ask?

 

A music shop that sells a bass at its regular price with pictures on a regular site.
WHat makes you think it could be fake?

 

i don know man ive never seen a ray with those colors its probably just me but i wouldn't buy it, also the battery compartment looks wrong for a ray. just check the serial number it'll say it all

 

The battery compartment look remarkably similar to the one on mine. Is my Ray a fake?

 

It's just you. How should the battery cover look?

 

I'm no expert, but I've got a Stingray and it looks just like mine. No way to tell from a photo, though.

 

It looks real to me...

 

The bass seems alright, to me...

I never bought anything personally from that store but I do know people who have bought guitars from them and had no problems whatsoever. They are a reputable brick and mortar store, I doubt they would gain much by trying to screw people by advertising and selling fakes. Of course that doesn't mean you shouldn't do your research and try to confirm the authenticity..

 

If you look on the Welcome to the Ernie Ball Music Man Company website, it's got one of the stock color/pickguard combinations. It looks totally legit to me.

looks real, my newer Ray (post 2000) has that battery holder, the older ones have a removable plate.

 

Everything looks good to me also. I have a black one almost identical. I like the transparent red color also. Very nice !!

 

+1.

Is there a reason why you're doubting it? That bass looks legit to me.


Here is my 2000 vintage sunburst EB MM:

 

Looks fine to me. I'm guessing it's a late 90's early 00's 3 band SR4 with the non compensated nut.

The battery compartment is identical to all of the Ray's I've owned.

 

One of my friend bought a bass from this seller some time ago and everything went fine. And no, its Geddy Lee is not a fake one.

 

I would say almost 100% chance it is real.
