1989 Ibanez SR885

I picked this guitar up in a trade a few weeks ago with the intention of 'doing it up' and it's becoming my main player...it's a stunner to play with a superb tone.
The problem is it has half the output of my other basses. I love the sound of the stock pickups so would changing the pre amp help? or is it a complete job, pups and all.

This then begs the question of which pre amp or pups?

Sorry if this all sounds a bit newbish, it's the first time I've attempted anything like this.

I have changed the battery and strings with no improvement.

Some basses just have a lower output than others. My passive Jazz was like this, you just tweak your volume at your amp. Changing the pups or pre-amp will almost certainly have an effect on the tone it has that you like so much. Without know whether you bass has passive or active pups, you could try using a booster pedal.
