6-string single coil pickups to replace Aguilar DCBs?

[Salem6127]

I have an Ibanez BTB I absolutely love the feel and playability of, but prefer the sound of singles.

I know EMG and recently Fishman Fluence offer 6 string soapbars with single coil operation, but the dimensions are taller than the DCBs. I'd have to route the body.

I see the Bartolini P462J pickups are the same dimensions, but being a 4 coil pickup I doubt that's what I'm after.

Really don't wanna have to part with the bass just because I can't swap the pickups...

@Matt Kustom at 916 Pickups recently spent a lot of time and effort designing a recreation of the Peavey Super Ferrite. Incredible single-coil tone in a variety of form factors. Highly recommended!

Nordie Big Singles?

Nordstrand also makes their "Jazz Bar" pickups which are their standard J bass pickups in a soapbar shell. Bartolini makes their Singularities which are a true single coil. Aguilar makes a single coil soapbar as well.

Nord jazz bars or big singles

Nordstrand probably has the largest variety… like mentioned above, jazz bars and big singles come in that form and are true single coils… also big blades…

then their dual coils are splittable to single coil…

big rigs, zen blades, and fat stacks too are splittable, but also sound single-coilish in the humcancelling mode.

big split is also single coilish, but not splittable…

many others makers offer similar designs, particularly splittable dual coils: Delano, Aero, Bartolini…
