justify the markup vs the mexican version. Also why not spend a couple hundred more and get the American elite version which has a lot more features.
https://youtu.be/I2YH7PW1XCs great video comparing yhe 3. they struggle to differentiate the standard mexican and american p basses.

Yeah i think i'm probably in the minority re the stingray.
I really like the marcus miller bass. They make other models too including a double humbucker. I almost got this one but thought it would be too similar to my cirrus.
I'm trying to work on improving my technique bc i never really learned how to play other than just playing on my own. Any tips for practicing effectively?

Effective practice stands on knowing your goals. Do you want to pick up sideman work, playing weddings, corporate events, etc for an extra couple hundred bucks on weekends? You can do this sooner than you might believe, especially if you are a very strong networker and you make sure to show up to the gig early and, as they say, tanned, rested, and ready to go. Another related question is, what kind of music do you want to play? Any working pro bassist will say that the more technically varied the kinds of styles you can play, the more work you will tend to pick up. This is obvious, but underneath it lies the real questoon: are you willing to learn many different songs and styles of play that do not interest you? You had better get inspired to do so, if you want to maximize you opportunities for playing for pay. If on the other hand you simply enjoy playing your bass and you gave a handful of songs you really love playing or learning to play (that tactile, "ahhh, heaven in my hand" feeling is so nice, and playing bass definitely produces it) then maybe unstructured time with your bass is the best sort of time you should be spending because many "aspiring musicians" have grown disenchanted with their instrument once they adopted a more businesslike attitude towards it. But to address your original question head on in short, get a drum machine or a beat-maker, set it to play beats that really get you pumped up or put you in the right head space you want to he in when you're playing your bass, and from there, finger all sorts of scales and arpeggios up and down the neck at varying tempos for a couple of months, and lastly, see if you can find a drummer or ourcussionist to play with, so you can practice the givung and taking in a spirit of mutual support that pretty much anyone who plays the bass well has to also excel at.
