Case in point: How many options EB/MM has. I bought a car, so now I want a bass, but this is hard.

4 or 5?
White, Honey Burst, Pacific Blue Burst, or Blue Pearl?
H, HS, HH?
What Pickguard?
Piezo?
Matching Headstock?

I'm going freaking nuts here.
 
Can you get to Rockin Robins? They should have everything available from EB there for you to try. Maybe call first.

Or I could just tell you which one you want. :)

You should be fine with a 4 for punk and ska?

The double ought buck Stingray covers just about any sound out there (while still remaining true to the Ray pedigree)

I dont actually play ska. I used to. But im more into metal alternative stuff these days. Its just an old nam that I never changed.

prolly wont need a Piezo for metal n stuff like that. take the $ you save by not getting one of those and by a couple extra pickguards to help releive the stress from that decision :)
 
I don't think you can go wrong with any combo of the options you listed. Keep in mind that you can NOT get the piezo option on any of the dual pickup Ray's or Sterlings. You are young, and chances are there will be more than one EBMM in your future if you should desire. Good luck!
