need pickup recommandation for p bass

I have a fairly cheap p bass but I like it. The pickups are designed by duncan but aren`t the real deal. I want to upgrade. What is good P bass pickups for mostly rock pop stuff? Im looking for SVT style sound most of the time. The current pickups lacks even played through a svt head.

I love Fralin's standard P-bass pickups; I replaced a set of Duncan Quarter Pounders with them and was really happy.

I've got some friends who put Lollar pickups in their P-basses and were very satisfied as well.

Fralin , Lollar , DiMarzio , Aero , Nordstrand , Seymour Duncan ,can't really go wrong with either . Even Fender has been known to make a nice P pickup
