Best Passive Bass Pickups?

[Mysteryman]

I am thinking about getting some new passive P style pickups for my old ibanez gsr100 bass. Trying to get into modding a little. Also what difference do pots make?

I would not mod that bass... I am assuming you are talking about this one.

To tell you the truth you'd be better off trying to snatch up a Squire J or P rather than sinking anmy money into that bass. Changing ouit the post will get you nothing.

Yep that's my bass. I have considered selling that one and getting another squier PJ or something off rondo.

I owned one of those basses, Mystery.  It played good and had a good tone.  The finish was nice.  I never thought of modding it.  I wonder if would much better for what it is after modding it.  I. Liked it, but I wanted a five string, and a true active bass.   I got an Ibanez 405 to noodle around on.  It is more comprehensive, but similar in many ways.

If you are just starting to get into modding, the Fender / Squier platform of instruments is probably the best place to start.  Tons of options.  Probably too many options, actually.  But part fit will likely not be too big a problem.

I do have one P-bass body that I'm having a heck of a time finding a neck that fits in the pocket.
