It will probably depend largely on which style your bass is. If it's a Jazz style bass for example (J bass), then likely you'll be able to use most Jazz bass pickups (Fender, Duncan, etc). Likewise, if it's a variation on a Precision (P bass), again you should have a wide variety of options there.

On the other hand, if it's the semi-hollow style (I saw A LOT of pics of a Starcaster semi-hollow with a Google search), your options may be a bit more limited as those appear to use more of a Gibson style humbucker of some kind. Most of the pictures I'm seeing of the semi-hollows also appear to be 5 string basses, so that will limit your options even further (if it's a 5 string, you'll need pickups designed for a 5 string).

A few pics of the specific bass may help to narrow things down a little for you as there appear to be a few different models of Starcaster basses. If push comes to shove you can try to contact various pickup manufactures (Fender, Duncan, EMG, etc) and provide them with your specific model to see if they have anything suitable.
