I've been playing a Stingray 5 H since 1998 as my main bass guitar. I've never had a problem with it. It sounds and play great. My only complaint would be that it's a bit heavy when played standing up for an extended period of time. In 16 years of playing this thing I've made minor adjustments to the truss rod only a few times. I've tried other basses that I like but never something that I thought was better than the Stingray, different perhaps, but not better. It's just a solid and reliable instrument.
I've been looking for a Reflex 5 just based on how it looks--love the looks of basses with out an upper horn, like a Les Paul, but not a Gibson fan. In Phoenix, it seems it would be easier to find a unicorn, than a Reflex or 25th Anniversary. Any of you in Arizona have one I could try and possibly buy?
In any event, the Reflex seems to be the least revered of the EBMM basses. Any reason?
