That was my thought - if it's not a simple fix, replace.

I'm in it cheap enough I could easily put in an excellent pre-amp, if needed.

If you decide to do a yank out…
Go Aggie for deep rich dark lows
Darkglass for crystal clear highs
Audere for completely uncolored sound
East for customization any way you want it
Haz Clone for bone shattering attack

I've got a Nordy pre in my Regenerate Heritage '55 Pbass and that bass sounds amazing. How one would work/sound in a J is anybody's guess.

Some onboard preamps work really really well with humbuckers. I haven’t tried the new Fender Jazz humbuckers yet but if they’re anything like my other Fender humbuckers they should sound fantastic. The ones I mentioned all go great with typical humbuckers. Nordy has a preamp that sings with single coils but I haven’t tried it in a humbucker setting. Audere and East are also great with single coils.

Funny that. My winter motorcycle has been having battery problems. Turns out it probably has a very tired stator, which is part of what passes for an alternator on a motorcycle. So, I have some driveway wrenching time coming up. Oh, well. I had that whole part of the bike in pieces to change the starter clutch a few months ago and thought about putting in a new stator while it was apart. I didn't. Oh, well.

As far as Jbass pick ups go, at least passive.
The SD Apollos are pretty killer.

Thank you, yes much better today! Yesterday was the first day of work I’ve missed in more than 10 years.
