Question about Duncan Designed J PUPS

I have an all maple Squire 75 Jazz with the Duncan Designed pickups. When I play it at full volume it sounds lightly distorted. Is this normal, or am I just having my ear trained to my other basses which all have humbuckers in them and are active. If it is the pups can you offer a recommendation to solve it.

Anyone else have this issue with this bass?
