Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Vday, made my own paneer cheese in a spicy saag. Chicken Jalfrezi. Homemade naan. And rice with raisins, dates and onion (I use chai tea as the water for the rice).
 
I've been having an uncontrollable GAS for an old Japanese Rick copy lately. There's even one available locally, but no lefties. I've been even pondering getting it and just inverting the strings, but I don't think it's a good idea. Man, being a lefty is sometimes such a bummer in this hobby.
I had one.

With how much they're going for now, and how rare the left-handed ones must be (I've never seen or heard of one), you may as well just save up the extra to get a real 4001/4003.

I know that Ibanez made lefties. I've seen one or two more on eBay, probably from Matsumoku as the brands were bogus. The one I'm eyeing is pretty affordable, around 800$, but flipping it to lefty is not the best idea, I guess.
Yeah, I'll probably just save up for the real thing.

What kind of pickups do you guys use? I recently got Peavey Milestone II P-bass and thinking about replacing the pickups. In terms of doing doom stuff, I got my Spector to do it, but I'm using Peavey to play Steve Harris and Cliff Burton stuff. So, I'm assuming that I have to go for hella mid. First, I was thinking about buying EMG-GZR but my friends are saying that passive EMGs are absolute craps, and recommended me Lace Man O'War pickups. However, since there isn't any good demo video of that pickup in the YouTube, I don't know whether I should get Seymour Duncan Steve Harris signature, Quarter Pounder, or Lace. I would like to hear your opinions.

i like lower output pickups. i find tne tone of the bass really shines through and i get more headroom in my pedals and amps. for p bass pickups i like the underwound lindy fralins.

My 4001 has a newer Rickenbacker hi-gain pickup in the bridge position, toaster in neck position.

My Peavey I modded with a Rickenbacker hi-gain pickup, it's slightly overwound I think.

The T-bird I just bought has the stock pickups. I think. Unless Corey ever changed them out, which I don't think he did. Having it re-wired series/parallel.

Wait so did you install bridge or neck pickup? And is your Peavey P-bass like mine? If so, how did you install the pickup?
