Maruszczyk Frog Headless 5 question.

Ok. Always wanted a headless bass however being a lefty the choices are few and far between. I have been looking at the Frog Headless in a 5 string. I do have many questions. I currently have an Ibanez SR Premium with a wenge top and back and mahogany body. Neck is walnut and wenge with a wenge fretboard. Pickups are Nordstrams with the Ibanez electronics. I specked out a frog however I don't know much about pickups, woods, etc. I don't slap and pop much, just the occasional lick. I just wanted something versatile that will cut through a mix. Here is what I initially specked out. Any suggestions or comments on what I choose? I know the wood chosen is basic.

Looks good to me! Going with exotic woods can sometimes have some undesirable effects. Can’t lose with the classic alder and maple, and Ebony is a step up from rosewood IMHO. Your pickups of choice are quality as is the preamp, and the pickup locations are traditional enough to give you a tone reminiscent of your Ibanez. The Aguilars will have a less spicy flavor than Nordstrands, but that’s not a bad thing.
