Help me choose Bartolini J pickups

Hi, I'm going to upgrade pickups on my CV jazz bass, and decided to go with Barts, as all other are too expensive.

Now, I'm pretty lost with all their series, so need some help.

I will use them with J retro preamp, and sound I'm looking is modern, even response, and good slap sound is very important.

Here is a general sound sample (these are custom split J + OBP3)


I play mostly modern pop and some funk

any help is appreciated

thanks )
