Modding Glarry basses

After my experience with buying one Glarry bass and making mods to overcome the weak points, I bought another one. The brown one here has all new pots, jack and a Dimarzio Relentless Middle pickup with D'addario chromes. The tone is pretty ridiculous given the price. Now for my white one I am contemplating what I want to do.
I know I want to go with chromes tuned BEAD, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought about different P bass pickups. I am expecting 152 comments about EMG Geezers and Fralins

Awesome upgrades! Love the look of those pickups on my list for a future upgrade. I am thinking of getting their bronco and modding it but Fenders is only like 20 bucks more... either way beautiful upgrade on that one!
 
FWIW, i put a dimarzio DP127 in the very first glarry i purchased = the sweetest P-bass i've ever played! although i wouldn't put all of that statement's burden on just the pickup, it surely helps that the DP127 is a humbucker with a lot of range. (my other glarry P-bass has a bartolini. it's nice and 'wooly' --- also fun to play.)

@klaymaster: consider showing off your stuff in the glarry club thread (per @B-Mac's post) --- it would be inspiring! :thumbsup:
