Pedro Aznar Single H Ray....
Watch...he plays with a pick...fingers...and solos in the same song...
I think when I say the Single H is all you need, saying that makes it sound "simple stupid"...it works in such a big big way...
Watch this guy..He's the Argentinian STING

So glad I got a Classic Ray 5 for the that 2 band tone.
It is just that all strung with flats and I am happy all the time when I play.
Some would say drunk but it is just me. LOL
Seriously all one needs is an EBMM single H bass to be happy

I prefer the playability of the single H. The position of the neck humbucker aggravates my already dicey slap technique. I do wish I had a thumb rest so I wouldn't have to dig so hard when playing fingerstyle on the D and G strings (I learned on a jazz bass, and old habits die hard), but I'm not about to drill a hole in a Stingray, so I've learned to live with it.

No need, just need to drill through the pick guard, screw it on from behind then if decide to remove it at a later date just change the P/G.
Have seen it but have no need for one myself

I know this is terrible, but I just can't get away from the HH setup for comfort reasons. That front PUP is usually right where I want a thumb rest...
That works, but involves replacing the PG. If you're willing
to do that, then why not just drill the holes ? A new PG will
hide the holes if you change your mind later ....

One imaginable reversible solution: Clean the PG and the thumb rest with alcohol. Heat your glue gun well. Apply hot glue to thumbrest. Press thumbrest against PG. If the glue is hot enough, and the parts clean enough, it will stick. If you want to remove it later, apply hot air and pluck the thumbrest off.

This is also true, but as I am personally on the look out for a clear pick guard (there is an add up in the wanted, did have one that it came with, its ?? in the UK somewhere) so wanting to put a clear guard on says that there is something nice under the existing guard.
Both my Stingrays are finished beautifully all over and inside, no painting around the furniture to save paint on these! so can quite understand people not wanting to drill holes in them.
Could even get another guard to drill for the thumb rest, keep the original so it can be put back to original with out a trace if you end up not liking it or sell it on. I'm personally not a fan of thumb rests, it would be the first thing id do, remove it quick sharp an not be to best pleased to find two holes drilled in the body that could easily of been avoided.
But each to there own

I doubt it would ever happen in a million years, but I think I'd have to agree w this.

My main player is a four string single H Stingray. A lot of times when I'm playing I notice I rest my thumb on the E string right in front of the pickup. So your thumb is resting on the E string but still kind of anchored against the pickup without actually being on top of it. It moves your hand about an inch closer to the neck and is still quite comfortable.

Built one with an alnico MM pickup in the Precision spot. This pic was running passive... I installed a 2-band, then a 3-band, then added a series/single/parallel switch. It was muddy no matter what I did.
