A cheaper alternative to the K&K Bassmax is the Tacoman, available from superiorbassworks.com.
It has a lower output than the Bassmax but, to my ears, has a flatter, cleaner response. At around £40 inc p&p, you'll have cash left over for a decent preamp.

I've been using a TM pickup for 2.5 years, never had feedback issues, very much like what it produces on my old ply with Prestos.
