Looking to upgrade electronics in bass

[J.P. Heston]

Hey!

So I have a real cheap Rogue 5 string Bass. I set up everything on the bass and it actually plays to my liking. It will do the trick as far as playability goes for me. Only the electronics are not good at all and I would like to upgrade them but I know it has a lot to with getting the correct size pickups so the magnets line up with the strings. I would like to have a the pair of Bartolini PJ bass pickups pair because I currently play with them and love how they sound.

For this bass below does anyone know the correct size Bartolini PJ bass pickup pair that is correct for this bass. I am unsure of the string spacing of this bass. Should I measure that?

You can find the measurements of the Barts online, if they are the same physically as yours, they will work, and string alignment to pole pieces will be good to go, the Barts don't show poles, but, even if it were not exact dead center, same size will line up well enough without any loss. It becomes an issue when changing pickup sizes. If I were changing them, I would only want same size pickups, that's a small job, different size pickups is a much bigger deal. If the Barts are active, or you plan to use a preamp with them, plan out all your electronics before buying anything. (edit-I see those are passive Bartolinis, just clicked your link, still, get the measurements, and know they will fit ahead of time)
