if your on a budget get the olp I did the same and got an mm-3 it plays nice i love the neck but it's not a real music man. What pick ups though i want EMG's myself.

One bit of advice i'd give about olp's and all copy models for that matter is that they are very hard to get a good price for when your selling them. If you really want a music man i'd advise saving up for an SUB they are more but they are also an investment.
But if you still want an olp with new pickups try MEC pickups, they make a very nice MM one.

If you can find one, a used SUB would be good. They go for about $700USD new. OLPs go for like $200 new, plus your pups would bring it to atleast $300. I bet you could find a good SUB for about $400.
