Looking to swap out V-MOD II

So I’m looking around for different pickups to swap out my vmod II for.

I’ve got an am pro II p bass and although it does sound great, it’s not exactly hitting all the marks for me so I’d like to try a different pickup.

What I’m looking for is the sort of classic p bass sound, I very much like late 50’s and 60’s precision sounds and I also quite enjoy how the bartolini 8CPB sounds.

That being said, which pickup would you guys point me in the direction of trying out? I may buy the bartolini just to have on hand but am also leaning towards the fender custom shop 62.

Hope everyone is well today, thank you for any and all recommendations.
