For the Fenders, I've never heard that they were anything other than the stock Fender pickups that came with the basses....

I could swear I had seen a Fender custom shop bass on their old site that had the pickups listed as "Jaco Pickups"...
Anyone remember seeing those? I just checked the new site and couldn't find anything like that...

I always thought he used the stock pickups, but hey, he may have tried other pickups.
