Both the SD and EMG set will give you some more of that, but a hand wound set enables you to say exactly what sort of tone you are looking for..
Of course, it can sound ace and it could still be the player (i.e. me) that's making it sound garbage.

The SD QP set are ok - but their biggest problem is the P pickup doesn't sound like a P. t has too much bass and not enough mids. Fine if that is what you want, but it's not a precision sound.
My favourite passive set would be the Aguilar 60s wind set with the humcancelling J. But they are expensive.
EMG-X series is my vote - and they seem to be a bit cheaper than the Geezers too at the moment. Amazingly quiet for recording as well.

I preferred the geezers to the X’s but that’s personal taste. The Aguilars are good, but I’m not sure I’d recommend them for a cheaper bass - feels like overkill when there’s other good options out there.
Quarter Pounder is a registered trade mark of McDonald's.
My advice to anyone installing a Quarter Pounder™ in a bass guitar is to combine it with a Greasebucket™ tone control.
Impeach Bridgehouse!
Don't expect much, the playing/timing etc is awful but it was just a quick thing to experiment with the bass tones:

I take it you're not a fan of the J Pickup.
I was going to modify it so they were on separate outputs so they could be recorded simultaneously to different tracks and blended in the DAW. Still might but whether it serves a useful purpose is another thing altogether.

Otherwise the J is a weak, thin-sounding hum generator whose only function is to make the P pickup sound good on its own and bad when combined... just a way to ruin a good P-Bass, basically.
