Help With choosing pickups

[mikie]

Hello, I've got my PJ bass, it's already 6 years old, nothing special just some unknown Brand Fansen.
Planning to change pickups for it.

Mostly I love playing slap. I don't plan to spend a lot of money on it so I decided to buy passive PJ Pickup set.

I've found EMG SEPJ but it's not always available on amazon.
It this pickup set ok for slap playing style, Or maybe you can advice me some other pickups?

And also what are the best string for this playing style. I practiced a lot of different string type and my last is Fender FlatWound, 105.
They are awful for slapping, may be you can give me advice to strings too, but mostly I'm interested in Pickups, Passive PJ Set

Thanks

i have used seymour duncan pickups in the p and j style and have always been happy with the sound.
I play a mix of slap and rock.

Not certain which those are. If you mean these: Invalid Link Removed Theyd be pretty good pups imo. If the ones your looking at say emg select, Id avoid them. Not nearly as good, they where ok back when they came out some 20 yrs ago or so. But the newer versions are much much better imo. Id prob pick seymour or dimarzio pj set myself though for slapping. The emg's are voiced a little more for crunchy heavy and hard rock to metal to my ears.
