I own a Schecter 2008 Elite-5 and recently pulled the EMG-HZ p/u's out of it, replacing them with a new pair of EMG 40P5's. I also removed the EMG BTC preamp and replaced it with an Aguilar OBP-2 TK.
Sound wise, it's a huge improvement. I'm not recommending this too you, because I don't know exactly what kind of tone you're really looking for, but I can tell you that i'm very happy with the changes. BTW, I use this as a backup bass only.
Although these are major changes to the bass, both were drop-in installations and haven't changed the look of the instrument in anyway.
