All this talk of Musicmans must be getting boring, but please tell me what is the difference between a Musicman StingRay and Musicman Sterling, I can see you can select pup combo's, what else?

thanks for your patience gentleman

Neck profile, I'd love a Sterling, I find the neck just like a Jazz.

Slightly smaller and (presumably!) lighter body too. I loved mine when I had it; mind you, I am a bit of a short arse...

22 fret neck, with a thinner profile, rather than a Stingray's 21 fret thicker neck.

Smaller body, of course.

A ceramic magnet pickup, rather than the Stingray's alnico magnet pickup.

Sound wise? Sterling's sound more modern/hi fi. Stingray all the way for me!

Early SR was a totally different animal whereas Sterling basses and 20's are pants...but thats just my opinion....and I'm right
