Mine is a Sterling Classic in black and maple with a stock EBMM Stingray pickup. I A/B'd next to a Stingray Classic and it sounded almost identical IME. It's basically a ligther, faster 2-Band Stingray and oh that neck!
i love my 30th sr4 fretless.. soo hard to play outside the usual hand positions yet so rewarding.. slides, mwah but soo much kapoww in the attack if you want to
a Stingray 4 H in Natural witha Maple Board and 2 Band Eq
I also have a Roasted Neck Black Sugar Single H Ray with a SLO neck and a 3 band EQ on order as well as a Stingray 5 H in the Roasted Neck Black Sugar...Can't wait to have them!
I play predominantly through a Mesa 212 Combo with an M6 Carbine as the engine for the rig...SWEET TONE for days! I love a Stingray with some Tube goodness!
For basses, see my post on my Stingray 5 refurb project.
I play through all Eden gear.
Amp - WT800a
Cabs - D210xlt, D410xlt. Coupled, that's around 1200W
Combo - G-K MBE250 - fab practice or studio amp!
Beside the Sting, I own a Lakland Joe Osbourne signature 5 and an old Yamaha 5TRB sitting in a box somewhere....
I love the 4H Stingray in either the 2 or 3 band EQ set up. I have 1 Classic but would really like to add one more to the mix. I'm thinking a Black one with black pick guard and maple neck and fret board.
