I got new pickups

EMG JV, got a good deal on ebay

The first thing I noticed was that my bass sounded noticeably thicker. I normally use D'addario Chromes, but I had XL's on the bass. I was struggling with the lack of low end compared to the flats. Well, these definately made an improvement. I thought there was going to be a large treble boost, but no, not very much. I certainly didn't lose any high end but there was no super trebley hi-fi stuff going on. All in all, big improvement and the bass just sounds better in every way while still keeping the traditional jazz tone. Also, NO HUM!
