Hi Muzza, having just finished assembling my EX-5 late this afternoon not in the market for another 5 stringer however if I was it would be the Stingray as I already have a 4 string J Bass kit yet to be started. Have owned a few P Basses in the past and they are nothing special, just functional at best.

Never had enough coin for a Stingray and if I was to build another Bass it would be on my shopping list ahead of RC4 as all the build threads on those seem to be full of dramas. Actually stashing a bit away each month to see if I can buy a 2nd hand Ric 4003 later in the year as it is just too hard to try and replicate the real deal.
