Cheers for the comments guys. I like the analogy of choosing between children 😂.....they're all great of course. Prior to posting i did the usual research and there was some comparisons going on across the pond with Classic's V's normal Stingray and Normal V's Special etc so i drew some ideas from that. What I didn't really get a sense of was the sound of the Classic and Special. There was a little nod towards the Classics sounding warmer than Standards and being able to tame that Stingray top end 'zing' on the Specials with new preamp but that was about it. I've owned several Standard Stingrays previously, 2 & 3 bands, a Slab Pre EB albeit without the original electronics and a couple Sterling Stingrays (The Indonesian ones), currently own a Sterling Ray34CA too with a slab body so know what to expect in terms of ergonomics. Incidentally I've planned a family trip to Bristol this Sunday, and by sheer coincidence (ahem!) there happens to be a PMT music shop in Bristol open on a Sunday ......their website shows the range of Stingrays I'm interested in, if they have them in stock at Bristol is another matter but a quick phone call later will solve that one.

Hi Chatters, I'm soon to be in the market for a Stingray and generally have my heart set on a Stingray Special, Aqua Sparkle/ebony board hopefully, but, I'm am also curious about the Stingray classics and ones come up locally that i like but may be put off if over 9.5lbs. I am still yet to try both but will try before buying if shelling out £2k+ on a Special, a secondhand classic will be cheaper no doubt. I am aware of the obvious differences between the two basses, 2 band v's new style 18V 3 band, slab body, weight etc but I'm just wondering if anyone here has playing experience of both and wished to share their wisdom, thoughts, and opinions.

NOW SOLD - THANKS FOR THE INTEREST. Picked this up from here a few years back and it's served me extremely well with a great tone too. I'm damned if i can remember who i bought it from but i still have the original pictures so if you pop up who i bought it from i hope you don't mind using your pics. I've not used it for the last 6 months and unlikely to need a EUB for a while so hence the sale, and saving for another elec bass too. The Wav 4 really is a great sounding bass, plays great too, typical gig marks but nothing tragic and the stand is pretty knackered (gaffer tape central), - the price reflects this but all in all it functions very well and I've gigged it many times and it has been fine. So, a great and cheap, entry into the world of EUB with a decent instrument. Here's the stolen pics:
