Need some advice!! On PUPs

Okay I just picked up a very nice MIM Fender Jazz 5'er. I love how it plays and it will be a great back up for my '73 Jazz. However It does NOT sound like my '73 Or my MIJ Geddy Lee. I LOVE that sound. I'm looking for the USA Vintage Single Coil P/Ups and I looked on EBay craigslist, numerous on-line shops and some local shops here and I can't find these. I did find some Mexican made and the USA Jazz Deluxe set up. I'm gonna keep searching but I figured someone here has to know a local shop somewhere where I can find these. Did they not produce these for the 5 string? I see a ton of Active but not a lot of passive single coils for the 5 string. I know one of you guru's out there have some ideas!!

Thanks!!
