Do you favor one pickup (or selector position) over the other(s)? Do you prefer the in-between positions of some guitars over others? I found that I tended to use the neck pickup of my Mustang, the bridge pickup on my CV Duo, and the bridge humbucker on anything with a bridge humbucker. I also tended to use the out-of-phase sound more than the in-phase on my Mustang.
LATE EDIT: Specifying which guitars you use X pickup on is awesome but not vital.

always bridge. apart from when i'm recording and want to thicken something up. my amp settings tend to be quite bassy and if i switch to the neck pickup in a live setting it sounds all muddy and boomy as hell.

Depends on the guitar: neck on my Jazzmaster, usually, and fuzz pedals prefer neck pickups and I use a lot of fuzz. But I've just ordered a Junior, so have some love for the BRRANNG of the bridge too.
Always the bridge pup. The neck pickup on my Jaguar is muddy as hell and has no clarity. I doubt a change in pickup would remedy this at all.
And i've got no choice with the Esquier.

except on my dot, i generally use neck or neck + bridge. i just don't play a lot of shit that sounds good through the bridge. i love the warmth and muddles of most neck stuff.

Tele - N+B for strumming
Jaguar - N+B for strumming, Rhythm circuit for fuzz
P-rail'd tele - Bridge 90
Musicmaster -
Strat - kind of a love/hate/fuckinghate relationship with the pickups. N+M for most things, Neck for leads
if i had a set of d cups in my life, i'd definitely be watching what i eat, and try exercising. then once i got into shape, i'd play the neck pickup only.

Unless the D cups aren't attached to you...still, I'd play the neck pickup only.
I'm a bridge pickup guy . The hotter the better usually . But in melodies I like a cool neck pickup . Most of my guitars are set up with a hot bridge and a cool neck combo .
