Ok I have a bit of an issue here. I own a MM Stingray which is awsome and a Geddy Lee jazz which is great too. I've been playin my Geddy and I fell in love with the Jazz style neck. Now when I go play my Stingray I feel like the neck is huge, plays great, but huge. Seeing as though I love the Stingray sound but now really want a jazzier neck, should I trade in my Stingray and get a Sterling? or should I stop being a wussy with a capital P and just get back into playing the Ray?

Keep the 'Ray. Your taste in necks may eventually change, so if you like that particular 'Ray, keep it. You might find yourself kicking yourself later!

Of course, if you're really not attached to it, go for the Sterling. The electronics are different, though it's a fine bass.

I have a Sterling and its great. Very comfortable neck.

I am not a MM user but I have been using thin necks for a long time (graphite BTW).
It is hard to go back to thick ones after all that time... it is actually impossible (ok ok nothing's impossible). You start to enjoy the playability and the speed you can get out of a thin neck... it is up to you but if in 6 month you haven't picked your MM... you'll know what you'll have to do...

Yeah, I'll give it a couple of months and see where I am, that is, if the GAS doesnt kill me by then lol

Keep them both,......after all, how are you going to have a bass collection if you sell your basses, keep what you have and buy more.

FWIW i think sterlings are a much more versitile bass. the 3 way series/parallel/single coil switch (which incedentally is the same as on the stingray 5) is fantastic. Much more tones than a ray. Oh yeah, and the neck is cooler IMO.

I'd say go with the Sterling!
