Pbass pickup recs for the sound I'm going for.

[epic!]

Have a Dunable yeti with their stock D-split pickup. They’re described as “Slightly underwound from the contemporary P style pickup, for a bit more attack and grind, as well as bottom end to push a little extra air.”

I find them to have a bit too much attack and twang when playing with a pick. I’d like something a little bit smoother and warmer while still keeping the low end thump that can handle lots of overdrive and low tuning (drop B). Thanks!

Are you only looking at passive pickups?

EMG PAX uses Alnico magnets, so it has the same response as Alnico passive pickups, but with no noise or signal attenuation. They come with Volume and Tone controls out the box (solderless too), so you can tame the high end with the Tone control pretty effectively. Can lower the pickup height as well for more mild response, but you won't turn them into absolute mud when you do so.

Not sponsored or anything, just had very good luck with their pickups on many different basses.

For passive-only, have you looked at the DiMarzio Model P or Relentless series? I've used the Fender ones before and found them a bit too dark and muddy, but YMMV. You can always dial out high-end, but it's hard to add definition when you're starting with mud

Yes only going for passive. I’ll look in to those. I don’t want anything too muddy, just something warmer with less attack.
