Strings really matter for bass. I seem to dislike nickel on frets, and have a lesser preference for round cores.
Pickup position matters, a lot. Too bad Music Man had to "misplace" the Bongo HH bridge pickup.
Active and passive is a very audible difference. Maybe it the specific preamps that the bass companies use.
The Seymour Duncan company really knows how to make a middle of the road well sounding pickup. SPB-1 for the win.
As with guitars, once you go boutique pickups, which Alnico is used is misleading. The Ant1 is brighter than the SPB-1.
Fender's AVRI line is very nice. Some Warwicks, too.
