Here's mine - purchased new early 2002:
This thing is my main go-to workhorse bass for gigs. So stable and reliable.
Also looking for a number in case I didn't ask before.
so I just secured the trade deal on what is now my third Stingray in my stable. It's a trans teal SR4 with a 2 band EQ. It's pretty flipping sweet and has some serious mojo going on.
According to the guy I dealt with here in town on it, he got it straight from Ernie Ball. He used to be an endorser or still is...not sure, still a little fuzzy on if he still is or not...Anyways, back around 10 years ago, he was road dogging with some bigger country acts here in town. He moved away due to some family issues and is now back in town. Anyways, all that to say...he received the bass from directly from EB. On the back of the neck, near the headstock, there is some wear that seams a little odd..doesn't bother me...but it's there nonetheless. EB told him that they had just got this particular bass back from Europe where it had been used by Mr. Tony Levin for 3 days over there. So, if all that is true, it's pretty cool. If not, it's still a flipping sweet bass. I really like the 2 band EQ over the 3 band. The 3 band is great, but the 2 band just seems to have an open-ness to it that I really like.

Just a quick note...
I'm heading out of town on some family business for a few days, but I'll still try to check in when I can to keep the numbers rolling. I apologize in advance for any delay!

Just curious...does anybody here play an SR5 in a hard rock with a metal edge or metal type situation? If so how do you set the EQ on your SR5? And what strings do you use?
Okay I've owned this since end of Jan, ordered from the states. Ended up having to get the SLO which turned out to be awesome! Had some ordering through a friend with bass central problems, no fault of bass central though. I love the finish, am warming to the tort, and my opinions are constantly changing on pickup positions! Initially I only really liked the bridge and the inner (in my mind P-ray) positions, while the outer (jazz-ray) position has recently enjoyed a lot of playing time and the neck and the duel both have their place I've found.

#87 for you!
Your descriptions of "P-ray" and "Jazz-ray" are great... definitely what the double H Rays sound like.
