I’ve owned a sterling sub Ray, a Ray 34ca and several ebmm stingrays, including a stunning ‘92 and a piezo model.
I currently own no Ray at all, for similar reasons to those already given. They held more value as a trade in than as a gigging bass for me. That said, I do find myself drawn to them again. Albeit at a bad time, as the prices have gone a bit nuts on them. Especially given how close the sbmm range gets to the ‘real deal’.
Tbh, I would take the itch scratching as pretty much the only reason to change.
