Bad pickups or bad output jack?

Hey Frankie,

Thanks for the reply. I'm using an el cheapo wireless transmitter + receiver that I got off of Amazon. This one to be precise. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L5B64RG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

One thing I don't like about the barrel jack is that I have to pretty much force the receiver into the bass in order to make it snug, so I worry that it'll eventually screw up the finish.
I have tried 3 sets and the Getaria wireless set is problematic. Flip mine up and down and crackling loss of signal.
