replacement electronics and pickups for Traben Phoenix

[joeytempero]

Ive been playing through a traben phoenix for a few years now amoungst other basses and Im not completely happy with the tone. I play through a Ampeg SVT4 and Ampeg 6x10. The stock pickups are: traben custom combo and one humbucker and one j-bass style and the electronics is a traben t3 active pre-amp. It has 3 EQ, volume and blend.
Im looking for something which can handle really low end well without it sounding synthetic and not make the high end sound too tinny. I predominantly play metal but I also play rock, funk, rnb etc so Im not expecting to find a setup that is perfect for all these.
I use D'addario EPS170-5 pro steels and have tried around a few other string types but just cant seem to get a good sound.

I was looking at possibly Aguilar or Seymour Duncan but I really dont know much about the electronics and pickups on basses.

If anyone can offer any advice, would be appreciated.
Cheers

I'd like to see some suggestions on this topic also. I too play a Phoenix, and although I really like the tones I can get out of it I'd like to see what options may be out there.

look into delano. Im not much of a metal player but the delanos sound great drop tuned. Or in standard tunings they sound really full and beefy almost mm stingray like. I have the ones with the 9.5 mm magnets like stingrays have.
