I can't tell measurements from that. Soapbars come in many shapes/sizes, there probably are EMG replacements available but without measurements I can't say for sure.
Do you have this bass? If so, could you measure the pickups and we can say for sure?
no i don't own it. i may want to get an omen 6 guitar and put an emg 81/85 combo in there. and if i get the guitar, i will want an omen 4 to match match and equip it with emg's if they fit.
i already have an ibanez guitar and an ibanez bass equipped with emgs. i just want a backup to the guitar.
the only bass i got right now is an ibanez gsr100 with an emg active p bass pickup. guitar-wise i have an ibanez grx20 with an emg 81 in the bridge and an 85 in the neck. i never tried a schecter bass or guitar cause i play left handed and all the stores near me don't carry them. i'll have to order them from southpaw.net
There's one thing that you might want to know: EMG soapbars have only two mounting screws in the middle of the shorter edges of the pickups. The pickups in the Omen seem to have mounting screws in all four corners.
It would be wise to install threaded inserts in the screw positions so you could use the machine screws supplied with the pickups for mounting. If you use wood screws, pickup height adjustment is a bit risky because you might strip the screw holes.
On the other hand, Bartolini and Seymour Duncan make pickups, which have the same dimensions as certain EMG soapbars, so you might want to consider buying them if you don't want to deal with the slight woodworking you'd need to do if you choose EMG's.
Just my .02 euros...
someone from schecter emailed me and said emg's will fit in the bass.

Yes, the pickup cavity will accommodate EMG's.
