Hey Rob whats the essential difference between the Sterling and a Stingray?

According to the website the sterling has a ceramic magnet pickup and the Sterling has an alnico magnet pickup. Sterling has a smaller, sleeker body and are typically about a pound lighter. Other than that, same hardware, nut width, scale length, 3 band preamp, etc

I think you mean the Stingray has a ceramics, right?

I guess. Maybe I mixed them up after reading the Music Man website. Bass sounds pretty much like a stingray. I've owned a few of both

The Sterling should have the ceramic pickup. EBMM switched to alnico with the Stingray 5 (they used to be ceramic). I like the sterling pre a bit better than the Stingray pre as well.

Just looked it up Sterling is ceramic. Stingray is alnico, per their website

sterling 5s sound and play better than ray 5s, imho.

Up

Sterling are wired in Series which I prefer.
Stingrays in parallel more like a Jazz sound.

Both have the 3 way switch whitch allows for either. I have owned both and the main differences,to me, were the smaller body, and a slightly narrower nut width. I think?

Narrower neck only on 4 strings. 5er necks are identical width.

What about neck depth? My Sterling 5HH certainly feels like it has a thinner neck depth than my prior Stingray 5.

Great bass. Someone should buy this one.

Interested in a custom 5 string fretless?

It's a for sale this time. No trades. Thanks again
