I have a Bass that hasPickups by G+B BD4 Double Coils that are just to hot for my likings. I want to switch these out with something that is very clear and crisp. The bass is a Raven West and beautiful but I want to clean the sound up. What would you guys suggest?
 
I don't know that pickups. But probably they are connected in series. If they have connections available for each coil, you can install series/parallel/single switches for each pickup. Pickups will be 'less hot' in parallel and single coil mode.

By the looks of the picture, the Alumitone Bass Bar should be a direct replacement, if thats the route your going for. If you get me exact dimensions of your pups i can tell you whether or not they will work. That is a sweet looking bass by the way!
