Give the pickup a chance. I have switched pickups on 5 of 6 of my bass's. I have a Precision that is stock. Original everything (strings being the exception). The pickup just sounds amazing. My Dark Knight had a Quarter Pounder installed and a SD Apollo installed in the bridge position. It's a one of a kind now. Unique. But give it a chance.

Ahhhh... The American Pro II My favorite. I only play 5 strings. But I have 4 of these. A Jazz in 3 tobacco sunburst. A Precision, also a burst. A precision in Dark Knight. I replaced the maple neck with a proper ebony. And the neck from that went to a custom build that has become my #1. I also have 2 American Pro Jazz. One a burst the other natural. Needless to say I'm a Fender guy.

Get a Quad Cortex. Problem solved. You're welcome.

I am using the Revolt (bass) and the CABM together on a board with a Keely Compressor Pro. The online interface made setup easy. I have the Mesa Subway 212 in the cab sim. Very powerful setup. I also have a Le Bass setup that is great. Two Notes is awesome. But look at the Revolt.

The Quadcortex has so much for bass (and guitar) it's not funny. With all the Mesa and Darkglass stuff on hand as well as a Noble preamp package out there the tones are right at your finger tips. And the Cortex cloud takes it even further.

Interesting match up. I've always been interested in Pre Amp DI pedals. I run ampless with IEMs. But I have Mesa Subway cabs. 212 and 410. I prefer the D-800+ and the Epifani UL901. But after listening to the clips. You should check out "Two Notes". The Revolt is something you should hear. And, if you can find one. A Le Bass is amazing. But a Quad cortex takes em all out. Best clarity by far.

Just use a good DI or pre map pedal and run IEMs. It's not that hard. What your asking for is just wrong.
-
Amps are obsolete. Good IEM's and a Quadcortex will sound better any day. Don't forget your wireless.

I've had my QC for 2 years now. Run ampless. IEMs. The sound is unmatched. Compared to Helix. Line 6 is done. Touch screen has been flawless as well. Amp modeler is amazing. IR's amazing. Effects are off the chart. External PSU is NOT a problem. My unit is on a pedal board and power can be handled in many ways. But if you have those kinda problems you should probably stay away from pedals entirely.

The Quad Cortex has the most dedicated to bass stuff of them all. Darkglass, Mesa, Marshall, Gk. All the effects. Even a pog that I keep in line. The ir's are great. And amp and pedal capture. Not to mention all the stuff online. The Nobel preamp is in there and I so love it. Helix is fine. But the QC has the tone.

I've tried a lot of compressors. All of em most likely. While I still have an Empress and a couple of MXRs around I fell in love with the Keeley Compressor Pro. So bad in fact I bought 5 of em. In fact Sweetwiter is delivering #5 anytime in the next 2 hours. I even use one with my Quad Cortex. My Revolt and CABM board. One with each of my Mesa Subway boards, my Le Bass board. I ordered #5 as a floater to use when I have to use an amp. Warning! Subjective comment coming. Keeley Compressor Pro is the best compressor.

Happy birthday to me.

Great reasoning. But that is already taken care of.

That is more like it. I have considered getting another Lull. I did try a 34" scale PJ that was gorgeous. At the time I wasn't keen on the 5K price. But times change. Especially once the wife gives the go ahead. Alembic is always on the radar. I'm watching the used stuff. But 9K for a 30 year old bass ain't a happening. But I've heard nothing but good things about Sandberg. So on the radar they go.
