Help Me Decide Which Child to Sell

This is a very exciting time for me. I will soon be selling one of my basses to purchase my true dream bass- a Rickenbacker 4003. I have two basses I can sell. One is a CIJ Jaguar with quarter pounders, and one is a 90s Music Man Stingray with the 3 band eq. Neither will be easy to part with, but I'd much rather have the Rick. My dilemma here is that I feel like the Stingray is a SLIGHTLY better bass than the Jag, but the Jag does my tone better. I like a Geddy/Bob Daisley/type sound. Also, selling the ray would get me more money for the rickenbacker. If you were in my shoes, what would you do??
 
A couple somebodies recently told me while I was debating a purchase, that Rays are massively plentiful. Still made, and the new ones are apparently great, so if you miss it you can replace it. Keep the Jag, especially if it's your sound. I keep wanting to buy another Ric myself but something hasn't felt quite ON about the last few I've tried. Good luck!
