    Difference between old gen and new gen Sterling Stingrays

    Ah that's great then. Electronics and pickup being the same are a big relief, and if the neck is something that distinguishes them, I guess Thomann sells the new ones only since roasted maple is the neck on the RAY35 there.

    Hi! So, first bass buyer here, and I don't know where else to look for help. I'm sorry in advance because this is going to be a very weirdly put (and lengthy) thread.
