TI Jazz if you want articulate mids. La Bella if you want to nail the old-school thump. La Bella Low Tension Flats if you are a lightweight like me and don't like playing on anchor cables. There are other choices. I've tried some of them. I like these 2.

Might be worth looking at retrovibe to see if he has any that are the correct size. https://retrovibe.co.uk/product-category/parts/pickups/

It worked for Jaco. And "the fretless monster"! Having said that, I like the mid-heavy content that TI-Jazz flats give on fretless.

We recently moved to the WorshipTools suite - Presenter, Planning & Charts. Much simpler to use and seems more stable than ProPresenter, and doesn't require our volunteers to read a manual if something goes wrong... https://www.worshiptools.com/en-us

If you can find one 2nd hand within budget, the JMJ Mustang is great. And you can probably sell it for what you bought if for if it doesn't work out. Good luck, Phil -
If you like the feel and sound of the La Bellas, but they are just a bit too 'rigid' for your pinkie, try the low tension flats (La Bella LTFs). But as others have said, sometimes different strings suit different basses - I love the TI Jazz flats on a few other basses but they didn't sound 'right' on my Precision...

Apps for chord charts/cheat sheets when gigging

For Android, I have used Songbook Pro for a couple of years - was previously using OnSong on an iPad. -
The other option is to go for something headless if you want to keep with a full scale. Strandberg are expensive but seem to get lots of love. (My son has an 8 string guitar which is a thing of beauty, and the strange neck shape just works). Other (cheaper) options include Ibanez and Cort. Older 80s Steinberger copies tend to be a bit heavier, but are still lighter than your typical Fender Shaped Object. Good luck with the search, Phil

If there is no damage to the strings then keep them going!

Bought a rather nice Black/Black/Maple Player I Precision bass off Dave. Easy, fast, and honest transaction - very good. Fast delivery & well packed as well - recommended. Phil

I'm also 6'4 and enjoy short scale basses - my 2 are a JMJ Mustang (in black because I'm fussy) and a 1970 Guild Starfire II which might be short scale but is huge both in size and sound (purists would say it's the wrong age, as it has the Guild humbuckers instead of the Bisonic pickups, but it has quite a character)! Having said that, I also like 34" scale basses - variety is the spice of life! -
Some of the hum-cancelling jazz pickups tend to have a 'darker' sound due to the presence of a 2nd coil. DiMarzio Model-J for example has less top end, and so could be called 'dark' compared with a classic single coil. https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/jazz-bass-hum-canceling/dimarzio-model-j
