Help! 30th anniv' Stingray pickup low output vs MM Sterling

[mikey_s]

Hey folks,
A year ago, I bought a 30th anniversary MM Sting Ray (which for my tastes is the best sounding SR out there) off of a guy from Talkbass forums, for collecting and studio recording purposes only.
I haven't touched it in a while since I play my Sterling bass (which is much lighter on my back) on stage.

Recently I've started recording small sketches in my house for new songs, and noticed that the output of the 30th anniversary is MUCH lower than the Sterling's, I tried swapping batteries, and still nothing...

Is this normal? what might be the problem?

Thanks,

Mikey

Pickup height?

Too high is bad. Too low is bad. Set to spec.
