Pickups replacement for Fender American Deluxe Jazz bass

[rlro]

I have a Fender American Deluxe Jazz bass V, year 2013. It has an active/passive switch and comes with the N3 noiseless pickups.

I really like the neck, the extra fret and the general feel of the instrument, however, I don't quite enjoy the pickups: they are not bad, but they lack the punchy and growly sound present on the American standard versions.

I'm interested in replacing the on-stock pickups with some Seymour Duncan pickups, but I'm not sure if they will be able to work in active/passive mode like the originals. Do I have to replace the entire pre-amp in order to replace the pickups? Is there any specific model for both active/passive modes?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum! I think we would need to know if these are passive pickups with an active preamp, or are they straight-up active pickups. My guess is the former, since they work in passive mode. If that happens to be the case, any of the passive offerings would work.
