Fender jazz 5 deluxe Mexican made

I like this bass but need to upgrade the pickups thinking lindy Fralins j set? would this be a good call ?
Also can I just buy the pickups or do I need to buy preamp too? If so what would you guys suggest any body have this bass what changes have you made to it ?

My problem with it is that it's not punching through the mix want more gain cleaner and warm is my preference

I also have 3 other basses stingray 5 , fender 73 p bass
And an old peavey foundation witch still rocks
Just want the jazz to give me the wow factor but never really has
Help please
