Replacment pickups for Washburn xb-400

Hi
I got a washburn xb-400, which i really like. But the preamp, and probably the pickups too, are noisy and not of the best quality.
I've sent email to washburn, asking for advise to replace the pickups, but never received any answer.
Does anybody have a good suggestion for a replacement preamp/pickups to this bass ?

A lot of people go with a Bartolini system, my XB400 is the favorite bass of all of em and my preamp is noisy too, my only doubt is loosing all the power from the factory system, I LOVE how crazy loud and strong the tone from this beast is, I don't want to loose that if I replace the system, did you ever change it out?
