Need a little help

I want to replace the pickups in my Ibanez SRX520EX1 which are passive full range, Ibanez design, with Bartolini M34CBC pickups. Will I have to replace the current preamp or will it be sufficient to drive the new ones. It's the same preamp on the other SRX models, EQB-IIDX 2-band eq. Thanks in advance guys.

FWIW:

in my experience, a low probability of there being any issue if the pups fit the routes (Bart lists the dimensions). Don't know for a fact till you do it.
