I know from experience that the pole pieces don't have to line up exactly to still sound good. Some of my Fenders were way off and sounded fine. I don't know how far off you will be on your bass before there will be a noticeable degradation of sound. You might try the Basslines QP single coil. It has larger pole pieces.
With a single coil you may have some problems with noise. If you have to route out the bass to fit a new pickup you have more choices in what to put in there.
