how can i imitate the stingray sound on a 6 string? without getting a bongo 6

i would have gotten a bongo 6 if they made it in lefty!

so now my mission is to get a 6 string with this kinda of tone

what pickups would imitate the alnico pickups on the stingray?
what preamp would be best?
would it be easy to wire them to a 5 way picup selector in the same way as the stingray?
do those mahogny tone blocks actually make that much of a difference?

im a bit of a newb when it comes to electronics, so please help me out here
