Need some help with pickups...

Hello, all. I'm purchasing a Yamaha rbx765 5 string bass in Translucent Green. I'm wondering if anyone has had this bass and do they know if the stock pickups are decent. I'm considering putting in some Bartoloni humbuckers in it. Does anyone know if this will bring out a better tone with this bass or not? Any info on this bass will be greatly appreciated. I have a Warwick now and I absolutely LOVE the tone. I know a Yamaha won't have the same thick, growly tone that my Warwick does, but I'd like to see if I can get the best tone possible out of it. Also, if anyone has owned this bass, or one similar and they have changed out the pups in it, let me know if it's an improvement compared to the factory ones. Thanks, again.
