I have a Harley Benton Guitarbass, their budget take on a Bass VI. 6 strings an octave down from guitar, 30" scale, no trem, 5-way pup selector. It has 3 x single coils that look like Strat pickups - I've also seen metal side-tabbed and square ended pickups advertised as Bass VI pups, that look like Jaguar guitar ones. This Guitarbass now has Wilkinson drilled post tuners and Fender 20-100 strings.  I'm looking for clean 6 string bass sounds rather than low pitched metal guitar fizz.  Is a pickup change worth doing, if so what would you suggest?
