There really isn't a lot you can do to improve your bass. The pups that are in it are made in the USA. Everything else is sourced in Asia. So changing the saddles is not going to be easy, because they are not exactly the same size as the USA made saddles. Little things like that.
The two things that you can change are the nut and pots. I would start with the nut, by taking it to a local luthier. Ask your friends for who does good work. Talk with the luthier about material options & tone. As for pots, that's a fair bit of work with a soldering iron, and I am not 100% sure you would get your $$'s worth.
Keep in mind that the Tribby's are well made guitars, and don't need a lot of work to sound good.
Take care,
