I need a little help

I am working on this blackstar that I just acquired and need a little love....does anyone know of (or have) a neck pickup for a late 80's early 90's 4003? I have something in the wanted thread but wanted to ask in general because I don't want to change the vibe of the bass by putting in a new one since the impedance is so different.
Some thoughts here...
Since I have the OG bridge pup what would you all do when it comes to the front pup? There were changes in the output of the pickup between 87/88 and they have a specific tone that I don't think I can get with a 12.25k pup.
What would you all do??

LOL...no, actually I am going to keep this one...it is not the OG one that I had in 89(that I bought new) but it works and is killer with a nice neck so now I want to record with it...

I know the feeling. In the 40+ years of have played they were all keepers. Hmmm I wonder what happened to my original EKO Violin bass? Good luck to you.

oddly enough, I have seen 2 of my old basses show up in the last 2 wks. One is a Rick and the other is a F___der...one online and one in person....I have no doubt that the old blackstar will turn up at some point...

How about a CCF front pickup?
