    Soldering is intimidating but fun and rewarding to get it right! A lot of places sell solderless setups and "loaded" pick guards that are easier to install. With that said - a 400 or under budget can get you some great stuff. What kit did you get?

    Maybe something from here:

    https://www.emgpickups.com/bass/extended-series.html

    Most EMG pickups are active, if that's what you are looking for. I have a set of EMG Geezer Butler P+J's that are passive that are really great, so if the soap bars are as good, they should be great too. Most soap bars are active, but there are a few that are passive as well. Should be easily within your budget, and they are all plug and play.
