Uneven string volume on neck pickup (Jazz Bass)!

2 months ago i've bought an 1990 MIJ Fender Jazz Bass, great guitar but i've noticed, that A and G string are noticeable quieter when I'm using neck pickup. I've tried to set the pickup higher but it don't help. This problem dissapears when i'm using both pickups or only bridge pickup. Should I buy new neck pickup or maybe there is a solution to fix it?

What strings are you using? Sometimes changing strings can solve the problem.

It's unusual you mention the A and G strings, rather than the D and G. I've found with lighter gauge strings that the D and G can be comparatively quieter.

It may also help recording yourself playing the bass and then listenening back at different volumes, to ensure there are no other factors at play. There are too many variables to isolate the problem.
