I put a set of Custom 5/Jazz pickups in my Stingray. Used this guitar at the last two gigs and it sounds amazing. I don't like how the pickup poles line up on the Custom 5, but I've got a trembucker version coming next week.

Who cares about the looks of the polepieces if it sounds awesome?

It sounds great, but seems to set off some OCD in me. Lol!!!

First one I've ever owned. Never tried a real MM guitar. Can't afford them anyways.

I like this Stingray I have. First time ever playing a guitar with an asymmetrical neck profile. Feels weird at first after playing one of my other guitars, but I like it.

How are those SUBs? They pop up at fairly palatable prices every once in a while

They are great guitars to mod. Very mid-heavy though (due to the poplar body?). I use a Custom 5 and Jazz (a combo I would rarely like) to knock down the mids, and it is perfect. I love the textured paint, too. Mine is cinnamon, which is a brown flip-flop paint color that can be green, purple, or red depending on angle.

Just a warning on the trembucker, when you buy a Warmoth pickguard for a trembucker guitar, the cut a slightly different sized slot for it. I don't know if it really makes much of a difference, but it might (I wouldn't know, I always buy warmoth pickguards if I need a pickguard that isn't a direct replacement)
