I have exactly the same bass which I’ve owned since 1978. You’re completely right that the weak spot of these were the weedy pickups. After one of mine failed, I managed to fit the internals from a Squier pick up into the existing round ended covers. Transformed the sound so I did the same on the other pu as well. Other than that it’s a great bass, slightly narrower string spacing than a normal jazz, so great for those with smaller hands.
