Next bass?

Hey guys, I've been hanging around here for a while and haven't posted at all.... or very little, I do not remember. I've recently been looking into getting a new bass. I've narrowed it down to a couple of choices, namely a EBMM Stingray, a Ric 4003, or a Warwick Vampyre... I tend to play mostly Rock/Metal, but I also play classic rock and the like on a fairly regular bas(s)is. Anyone have any suggestions as to how these three compare? Pros, Cons, bad experiances, good ones, etc. etc. Thanks alot :)
 
i would vote for a stingray. when i started playing 'rays i really feel my love for playing increased exponentially. i don't know why.
and while i'm certain that many people will disagree with me here- while rics are very cool- they're a tonal 1 trick pony. i find my sr to be really versatile, but i'm sure i'll get flamed for that. as for warwick, i've just never played one i really liked, so... i don't know. do want you want, but the stingray club is full o' good people.
