Yamaha rbx 774 replacement pickups

I want to replace the pickups on my bass, a Yamaha rbx774.
I can't seem to find pickups that have the same size, these pickups seem to be enourmous. Can someone help me please?

can you give us some dimensions? If you can give the rout dimensions AND the pickup dimensions, it would be best.

The rout dimensions I don't know I'll check them when I change strings.

Pickup dimensions are (around) 112x36 (mm). Seems HUGE comparing to other brands 4 string pickups...

Here's a pic of the bass (not mine):

Thanks a lot. I really don't want Bartolini, so I'm going to search if some brands offer pickups in this size.
