So, I've had this SUB 5 for enough time to get used to it, intonate it, adjust it, change the pickguard, etc...

The thing sounds and plays amazing--especially considering the lower price point. Couple of technical questions:

Is the two-band active electronics in the SUB 5 the same as the two-band Stingray option on regular 'Rays?

Is the pickup the standard ceramic-magnet SR5 pickup? (The answer is NO, dolt! No switching or dummy coil)... Let me rephrase that: Is the SUB 5 pickup ceramic or ALNICO (I'm sure some of you have popped the hood)?

I'm a "talking shop" kinda guy, and I like to know what I'm playing. Some of us just say, "If it sounds and plays well, I don't care what's under the hood"; sadly, I'm an under the hood type--I just gotta know. Inquiring minds and all...

I was JUST gonna ask similar questions.

Will the SR5 pickup fit the SUB5?

And are gold parts available as aftermarket parts for the SUB5?

Not meaning to hijack the thread but it saves starting a new one.
