Is it possible to put an EMG humbucker pickup in the place of the original split coil pickup?

You would need to have it routed, but yes it can be done. There might be a gap between the body and pu lengthwise (I think the width of the split coil is bigger). Why do you want to do this, though? You could get a P-bass from 2006 or 2007 that came with a humbucker instead of a split coil, although I don't know what they sound like.
