I've always thought those looked like a good intermediate stage
if I were ever to upgrade from my cheap P-bass but wasn't willing to pay for a proper Fender. They did have nice big, slab bodies. I think it's just the quirky look of them that puts me off slightly.

intermediate stage?
a decent new stingray will cost you upwards of £1000. best bass I've ever played by a long shot.

Really?
Then I obviously have a different Ernie Ball bass in mind to the one you're describing....whoops
