Having recently acquired a gorgeous USA Sterling, I have been very happy.

Wise words, as it turns out.
I was just visiting my local guitar store, which until recently, had a great guitar selection but a miniscule bass section. I walked in and was told they now stocked MM basses. Wow!
Well, I had to try out a 2013 Sterling (mine being 10 years old), which had the slimmest of necks. Fantastic bass but it was the natural, ash bodied Stingray, that really got my juices flowing.
So I quickly sold some guitar (6-string variety) gear. Then I checked out a true gold Stingray, which again, was very tasty. Finally I found this 2001, honeyburst 'Ray. It's in top condition, looks quite lovely and just has that sound. Quite different from the Sterling. Great, low, solid action and a comfy neck. What a buy.
Long live the addiction.
