Low volume output on Jazz Bass...

Need some help on this one. My two main basses are a 97 MIM P-bass and a Geddy Lee Sig. Jazz. The Geddy has much lower output than the P-bass. I've A/B'd them and A/B'd the Geddy with a Squier Fretless I have and the Geddy is "softer" than both. Is the cause the "vintage" style pickups in the Geddy, or is something wrong with it? Your thoughts and suggestions please. Thanks.
