Someone talk me into a Stingray......

Any EBMM bass you go with, you can't loose. I played a Stingray for 15 years and loved it. I also love the Sterlings and the Bongos. I'm more into the single-pickup models, for slap, and the bridge pickup is the sound of EBMM IMO. But even if you go for a different pup design, I'd definately pick up a Music Man before any of the other basses that have been mentioned.
 
these kick ass....

"now listen, aint no party like a nikki sixx party cause a nikki sixx party dont STOP!!! Epi's are the bomb-shizzy, hell even the Chi-Com jimmy page plays one, secretly at home. I even heard that HONDO is collaborating on a triple neck, uzbekistan made strat/sg project!

For Show........"


Alright...who let snoop dogg in?!
 
If you like the look and sound of a Stingray but the neck is a bit bulky, try the Sterling.
This was my exact situation. I had been set on getting a Stingray for years but when I actually tried one out, the neck was just not comfortable to me. I was disapointed to say the least.

The Sterling fit PERFECTLY. The neck is super comfortable. Sterlings kick some serious ass too.
