I'm well into hot rodding my excellent condition affinity P bass. I put on a beautiful black Fender pickguard and it matches the glossy black, minorly not fakin' it body, with a classy look that can only be described as beautiful. The oiled rosewood neck gives it a really classy dark look that is very pleasing to my eye and it sounds decent thru my Marshall MB30.
My question is: should I put in GFS p bass pickups or spend just a little more and get Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders.
My goal is to have a hot hot hot P bass with lots of output but not too much noise.
I'm right at that pickup stage right now and am wondering if any of you all have any experience with these pickups and if they will give me some heat over the stock affinity p bass stock pups.
Also any other ideas for some hot P bass drop in pickups would also be appreciated from those with any experience. Even theoretical stuff I will consider, but real world experience and doing the job has no substitute, needlesstosay.
Feedback appreciated.

I still need to post some pictures of my hot rodded affinity "Black Pearl" strat with the SD hot rail in the neck, 'lil '59 in mid, and JB jr in bridge; and these do not not sound like their big HB brothers. They definitely have a nice strat tone to them but are humbucking. SD really knows what they are mass producing.
