I have a Schecter Diamond Series bass, 4 string, and I'd like to change the pickups. There are screws on the side but I haven't found any place that said specifically that buying new pickups and replace these. I'd like to have passive pickups instead of actives... am I going to have to buy another bass? Or can I use my current bass and just replace the pickups? I really enjoy the feel of the bass, but the sound that comes out is horrible sounding.

You don't say what your setup is, or what music you play, but it may not be the pickups. If you need a solid deep smooth sound, maybe you need to try nylon wound strings, and/or a larger bass driver, like an 18" Goodman. If you need a high, crisp bass sound, maybe you need a 4-10 or 8-10 cabinet with standard strings. Try another amp or two with different speakers before you do anything like changing pick-ups. I couldn't imagine changing mine when I played except one died.

GO TO A QUALITY GUITAR SHOP AND ODDS ARE THEY WILL HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED THERE AND PROBABLY SOMEONE TO ASSIST YOU IN CHANGING YOUR PICKUPS. THIS BY THE WAY GETS DONE ALL THE TIME, FOR WHAT EVER REASONS.
