One thing to consider is that if you converted it to a single MM pickup setup, it would probably sound a whole lot better with a preamp in there too. Most people seem to want the extra tonal EQ tweaking that a preamp gives to a MM type setup. Your $$ has that preamp of course. Is there room under the pickguard for a preamp ? A bit of routing may be required. Or a P-retro (getting expensive here) which is very space-efficient.
I'd definitely like to see a white pickguard on that bass too. I like black as a basic colour on a bass but it needs highlights of some other light colour to make it rather less boring. Or maybe white or cream pickup covers, something like this ....
If it were me, I'd probably start off with a decent new set of PJ pickups, with white pickup covers. New sound and new look ! No routing, no new pickguard. It's an easy first thing to do anyway. Going the MM route sounds interesting but its a lot more work.

That is a really interesting bass. What is that body.. etc.
Any audio. I'm wondering if it sounds like a P squared. PeePee ish?!
Where no humbucker has gone before... i think..
