I used to! I don't look at basses much anymore TBH, but if a 30th Anniversary Stingray came along at the right price, I might just.....nah - I'm sorted for the mo.

i don't think you've had a bass that i wouldn't be happy owning myself - except maybe the status, but that's more an aesthetic thing.

incidentally, i think i've virtually stopped looking at basses as well now i've got the two that i'm most happy with

The Sterling is a beauty - I had the chance to give it a whirl at the bash, felt great and looks wonderful.

How do you find the 2 compare ?

Hello Matt,

The Sterling has a considerably higher output and has more mids, which makes it punch through the mix better than the Ray. It doesn't go as low as the Ray but it's more versatile tonewise. I can get quite a wide variety of sounds including P and J-esque sounds whereas the Ray always sounds like a Ray.

Thanks mate Hopefully, I'll have some 'in action' shots soon and if i don't look too horrific on them, I'll post 'em as you requested.
