I recently bought a vintage 335 copy bass guitar. it has a PHAT pickup right below the neck (it’s about the size of a boss pedal) and besides the 335 style body is one of the reasons I bought the guitar.

but after trying to play it during a gig, i noticed that only the A string and D string pick up at normal volume, the E and G strings are really quiet. I had to crank up the volume AND the the bass to get any reasonable level out of the E string and it just sounded horrible.

I’ve already spent a reasonable amount getting this old girl gig-ready (luthier, new flatwounds, mean vintage strap etc) so I dont want to spend too much more at my rip-off luthiers just for them to charge me and not actually do anything. I also really don’t want to have to replace the pickup (or at least not the outer shell, I could probably swap over some electrics underneath as long as it still provides a phat sound… i dunno much about this kinda stuff) so what do you thin kthe problem could be?
the strings are flat and the pickup is flat

I can’t find it anywheres, not even at fender.com
I’m aware that I will have to get it custom made, but I’d like it if someone could give me an educated guess on the average price an American Vintage 1965 Sunburst Fender Jaguar is.
Eh?
Please help.
Much appreciated.
