Schecter 004 modding help?

Okay, so I've been having some seriously bad luck with my Schecter 004. The preamp blew within a couple of months of me having it. I replaced the two band EQ with a 3 band EQ (stacked bass/treble knob). It blew recently! I've ordered a second preamp and am currently waiting for its arrival. I have had this bass for less than a year and already I've put more money into it than I think its worth. Anyway, I've never been completely happy with the tone. I like the look and feel a lot but the tone is not my favorite. I wasn't going for a Ric sound anyway. So, if I want to get more of a Musicman-ish tone, what are some good PUPs for it? I will be swicthing preamps and I figure since I'm repairing, I may as well mod, too.

 

Wouldn't active pickups be better for that "Musicman" sound?
