Volume problem on Stingray

I was wondering have anyone actually got any solution on solving the weak G string volume for Musicman Stingray?

I read alot of people have the problem but haven't seen any real solution to tackle the problem. I know people mention pickup height and string gauge but i try messing with pickup height and it seems it won't solve the problem.

I haven't change any strings yet and it still strung with gauge 40 rotosound. Not sure if i replace the G string to 45 or 50 will solve the problem or not.

My last resort is to change the pickup or preamp. Change pickup will solve the problem i guess or change the preamp to John East because John East preamp have better EQ on them to EQ the volume issue out.
