Musicman stingray vs Warwick Corvette five string models

I have $2,000 to buy a new bass and have narrowed it down to these two basses. I play rock, classic rock, and funk. I have tried both four string versions and prefered the warwick neck care over the u shape stingray neck, but I love the tone of the stingray the most out of the two from all the recordings i have listened to. When I tried both basses in person I prefered the growl of the corvette, so this has left me a little confused on which to buy? I also think i will opt for a 5 string model but have not tried either version in a five string so was wondering if anyone had oppinions on which is better?

Thanks

 

Any reason why you like the stingray better? Does the B string sound better on that bass compared to the warwicks?

 

Sorry I should have wrote it would be a used custom shop $$ corvette vs musicman stingray. I will changr thatt

 

Would you recomend the single pick up or hh version?

 

Well i believe you can also get the sr5 with a single pickup. I also heard that there is a sweet spot you get on the single pickup version of the stingray that you dont get with the hh versions because the placement of the pickups is different?

 

Ok good to know! I have an opportunity to get a stingray 5 for $900 but im thinking i should hold out for the hh if i choose to go that direction. Would you recomend holding out for an hh?

 

I do like that bigger p bass type of sound and tend to blend my pickups. Parrallel basical turns the humbucker into a single coil and series is the humbucker right?

 

I was also curious if the necks on stingrays are pretty similar or do they vary. It seems from what i read they are all very chunky. I played an old smoothy with a thick u shaped neck that was set up perfectly and the neck felt great but i played another regular stingray that felt horrible in my hands and seemed like a totally different feeling neck

 

Well like i said i would want a custom shop corvette $$ for that price. Maybe im mistaken and its just called a custom corvette. I was also looking into warwick thumbs but i think i would prefer the humbucker pickups. Does anyone have an opinion on if the thumb is a better bass than the upper range corvettes?

 

Actually i tried the sr5 and thought it felt better. I was actually refering to the 4 string versions when i said the necks were fat. I was looking into the g and l L 2000 and liked the sound in series position but i felt it was missing compared to the warwick and mm bases
