Passive 5-srting J pups?

I'm looking to replace the passive pups in my J 5 string. I'd like something w/ a lot of personality as my amp is a tad on the vanilla side . . . (I play pop/rock/acoustic. passive electronics on my bass)

I was looking into the duncan quaterpound??

any suggestions? I don;t have a lot of experience w/ bass pups. I've always been blown away from duncan pups when I've put them on my guitars . . .

Welcome to Lindy Fralin Pickups: Fralin Bass Pickups - the Finest Guitar Pickups Available Today!


The duncan QPs are nice, but I much prefer the Fralins.
