It's really hard to say without knowing anything specific, but if the particular bass you're looking at is equipped with standard EVH electronics they'll work (meaning; function) a lot like the Series bass did, but should be noise free, as they are most likely the same hum-cancelling AXY pickups your Distillate has.
Another key difference, a good many EVH's came with a maple body core. The Distillate usually came with a mahogany core. That'll set a couple more variables in place. If anything, I'd guess the hard, denser maple core would increase *snap*.
They could be very similar or they could be very different. Clearly, the solution is to keep them both.
Hope that helps. Back to sleep.
