Replace USA Stingray body with one from a SUB

Hi everyone.

A conundrum!

I have a Musicman Stingray 2EQ in a blue pearl finish. It's a lovely finish but not particularly exciting to look at. I really like the 'mint green' colour available on the cheaper SUB instruments. A professional re-finish is going to cost me £250 - £300 and it occurs to me that I could buy a SUB for around the same money and simply replace the body, transferring all electronics & hardware over. Obviously I'll check first that the dimensions & cavities are all the same. My Stingray is made from ash and the SUBs are made from basswood, which I think is the only thing that's different.

I'd be grateful for any thoughts on this.

Thanks in advance for your time.
