Pickup suggestions?

I'd like to try some different pickups in my Rebop. At the moment, it has EMG HZ p/us, which were what it came with. I know the HZ was the budget EMG. Tonally, the sound is not very subtle. The low end is massive, the mid honk very pronounced and the top end is a little reticent. I know that mid growl is part of the Spector signature sound and I don't want to lose it, but it would be nice to tame it a little and add a bit more air in the highs.

 

It's a 4 string, so EMG 35 type p/us should suit. I'd rather not have to start routing it to get replacements to fit. Anyone tried the EMG 35P4? It's claimed to be a bit closer to a P bass sound, which could be interesting. All suggestions appreciated.

Nordstrand Big Singles. They do an EMG 35 fitting. I heard these on a demo of a high end Ibanez and loved them (annoyingly never found the video again)!

 I have Big Singles in my Ibanez SR900 and they made a noticeable difference and sound very nice.

It sounds like an EMG P. There's no real P sound as even Fender branded Ps vary a lot, but EMGs are much more consistent in my experience.

 

Edit: crappy grammar.
