SX 5 Sting Mod?

Hi there.
I was thinking about getting an SX 5 Sting Jazz and doing some mods to it. I was thinking about keeping the jazz pick up in the neck position and a swapping the bridge position pick up to a EBMM type pick up. Also I would like to make it active. Do able??? Worth it??? Has any one done this and have pictures???
 
The SX 5 string I had was around 16mm bridge spacing and that may be hard to match with a MM pickup unless you use one with bar style magnets. EMG or Bartolini may be the answer for that. It's all do-able.
 
Hmm...Thanks BobX.
I know there are more expensive basses with that pickup configuration. Just to much for me.:crying:
I just stumbled onto the Cort GB75. Has every thing I want in my five string bass wishes. I just do not know how well it plays. :hmm:
I think I need to hit the town and play some 5ers when I save a little more money.
