Replacement for Bartolini MK2 6-String pickups

Hi there,

I own an Ibanez BTB 676 which is my main bass for solo gigs and am becoming increasingly unhappy with the sound of the stock Bart MK2 installed in it.

I'm looking for replacement pickups that would require little to no routing/modification to the bass itself.

Would any of the Nordstrand 6-string pickups (Big Singles, Fat Stacks) be a suitable replacement? The website only gives dimension for 4 and 5 string models...
