Humbucker pickups help please

Could I ask for some advice on fault-finding the signal chain of a c. 1996 Spector bass please?

Whilst the bass produces output from both pickups when plugged in, the output for a spector seems very low so I thought I'd work my way through the signal path to try to identify the fault. The treble end of the EQ seems a bit odd too.

The pickups are branded SSD and measure c. 37 x 88mm which looks like the EMG-35 size if I'm not mistaken. If I disconnect the pickups what level of DC resistance should I expect to see if they are healthy? Are there any other tests that I could do?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tips boys. The battery was the first thing I checked. After a bit more experimentation I think one of the volume pots may be the culprit, so I'll have to get the soldering iron out and start disconnecting and testing things.
